In 1963 Inge met with CBS to consider a one-hour filmed television drama about a family in a Midwestern town. The series, with six continuing characters, had the tentative title "All Over Town", and was planned for the 1964–65 season. Instead, Inge did a play, "Out on the Outskirts of Town", which was seen November 6, 1964, on NBC as part of the "Bob Hope Presents the Chrysler Theatre" series. It starred Anne Bancroft and Jack Warden with Inge taking the role of the town doctor. NBC gave the play a repeat on June 25, 1965.
