(Love won and was awarded $5 million.) While Love's short screen time won't cause many Beach Boys fans who revile him to lose sleep, certainly the absence of the beloved Carl, who died of cancer in February 1998, will.
Along with snippets of TV and film performances, and some very rare home-movie footage, a portrait of Wilson emerges that makes you wonder how he was able to create such positive music from such a turbulent life.
His father, Murry, who himself dreamed of a musical career and once got Lawrence Welk to perform one of his songs, was tyrannical and abusive.

The older version featured historical figures such as Helen Keller and Mark Twain, or long-dead entertainment figures such as Will Rogers or John Barrymore. He has two newly adopted young daughters. The program ended up profiling enough figures that in 1999, A&E spun it off into an entire network, The Biography Channel. It was originally a half-hour filmed series produced for CBS by David Wolper from 1961 to 1964 and hosted by Mike Wallace.

There are numerous recent interviews featuring Wilson, fellow Beach Boy Bruce Johnston, current wife Melinda Wilson, former wife Marilyn Wilson, Ginger Blake and Diane Rovell, Marilyn's former cohorts in the Honeys singing group, whose songs were produced by Wilson, biographer and friend David Leaf and two members of the famed studio musician group called the Wrecking Crew, among others.
Seen less often are Brian's late mother Audree (whose image comes from Brian's biography film ''I Just Wasn't Made for These Times,'' which is on video, and fellow Beach Boys Al Jardine and Mike Love.

Melinda says she still occasionally hears him play some beautiful songs on the piano. When asked if he has recorded them, he says, ''Nah.''
Oh, to be a fly on the wall at a time like that. As he told one friend, ''My work is done.'' Some friends comment that he's complacent.
However, the music's still there. It was originally a half-hour filmed series produced for CBS by David Wolper from 1961 to 1964 and hosted by Mike Wallace.

The A&E series has placed the emphasis on such people as Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Plácido Domingo, Freddie Mercury, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Eric Clapton, Pope John Paul II, Gene Tierney, Selena, Diego Rivera, Mao Zedong and Queen Elizabeth II, and fictional characters like The Phantom, Superman, Hamlet, Betty Boop, and Santa Claus.

In one audio clip in the show that has circulated in more complete form on bootleg, he mockingly tells Brian at a recording session, ''I'm a genius, too.'' The session continues with tense exchanges between the two and finally, Brian kicks him out of the studio. Brian was even sued by Love, who alleged that he'd never got credit for songs he had written.

He later was forced by a judge to end his work with Wilson after he allegedly had Brian rewrite his will. The A&E Network later re-ran it and has produced new episodes since 1987. The program ended up profiling enough figures that in 1999, A&E spun it off into an entire network, The Biography Channel.
