The Questor Tapes is a 1974 series pilot about an android (portrayed by Robert Foxworth) with incomplete memory tapes who is searching for his creator and his purpose. Conceived by and executive produced by Gene Roddenberry, the script is credited to Roddenberry and fellow Star Trek alumnus Gene L. Coon. A novelization, written by D. C. Fontana (another Star Trek alumna), was dedicated to Coon, who died before the program was broadcast.
The failure by NBC to pick up Roddenberry's Questor Tapes as a series after the original pilot is considered by many to be a significant NBC error in judgement.
Herbert Wright, who had a long friendship with Roddenberry, has strong ties to the series that was never made. The two met when Wright became aware of the movie, and fell in love with the story, and wanted to be a part of the series. After some sample submissions, Wright was allowed to join, but never got the chance as the series was scrapped after Roddenberry's creative differences with the studio. Wright kept the idea alive with hope of the series coming to fruition throughout the years. When the rights finally came back to the Roddenberry family in the early 2000s, Wright secured the rights with the blessing of Roddenberry's family to produce the series. Wright made several promotions for the series in 2003 at conventions. Wright even had resevered production locations while working on a first script. The show suffered what was at first a simple setback when Wright fell ill within a year, which delayed the show's development. Wright died in 2005 before he could finally bring the show to life. There are, however, talks of the project continuing with his business and creative partners based on what he had completed before his death.
Project Questor is the brainchild of the genius Dr. Emil Vaslovik: he developed plans to build a superhuman android. A team of the world's foremost experts is able to build the android, even though they do not understand the components that they are working with �?
