No that is not it.

Asimov as the author was just a guess, I should have made that clear. To try and pin it down even further the date I read this, which may be years after publication, would have been from around 1966 to 1974. Back when I read a lot of Sci-Fi. My favorite authors tended to be Asimov, Niven, Clarke, Bradbury, and Silverberg. So it could have been one of these. On the other hand I read a lot of collections of stories as well so it could have been by someone not well known.

I'll give that a go. The quantity of anthology sci-fi TV shows is certainly much less than the quantity of Sci-Fi stories.
