The collection is small and somewhat disappointing because, despite Robinson's importance to television programming at CBS, the bulk of the material relates to his work as executive producer for ABC during the late 1960's. For the innovative dramatic anthology ABC Stage '67, the collection includes scripts and drafts by Truman Capote, Jerome Chodorov, David Frost, Sam Peckinpah, Eleanor Perry, Murray Schisgal, and others, and a shooting script for an interview of Dwight D. Eisenhower by Alistair Cooke. With the SCRIPTS for this program are eleven film reviews by Robinson which were aired by NBC's Critic-at-Large in 1969, and Who's Afraid of Mother Goose, which was produced by Robinson's independent company.
The remainder of the collection consists of SPEECHES AND ARTICLES. Among these are an early short story, two articles written in collaboration with Therese Lewis, his first wife, and a prospectus for a book concerning television news. There are also criticisms of the television industry, a number of which provide interesting background on the development and production of ABC Stage '67. MISCELLANY consists of a 1963 memorandum from Robinson concerning a proposed mystery series to be produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
