Meeting of Minds is a comedy and documentary TV series that premiered on PBS on January 10, 1977. It has 4 seasons and 24 episodes so far and has ended. The latest episode, Season 4 Episode 6 "Margaret Sanger/Mahatma Gandhi/Adam Smith, Part 2", aired on May 3, 1981.
The show featured guests who played significant roles in world history. Guests would interact with each other and host Steve Allen, discussing philosophy, religion, history, science, and many other topics. As nearly as was possible, the actual words of the historical figures were used. The show was fully scripted, yet the scripts were carefully crafted to give the appearance of spontaneous discussion among historic figures. Typically, each episode would be split into two parts, broadcast separately, with most or all of the guests introduced over the course of the first part, and the discussions continuing into the second part. A total of 24 episodes were produced.
