Failed TV Pilot Night







We've watched television before at BMN. BTN? There was V, the miniseries.



and TV movies like Invitation to HellDuel, Bad Ronald and Dark Night of the Scarecrow. We even watched an episode of T.J. Hooker on PCP 2 Night. This night, however, is more a partner with Unfinished Movie Night. These are the promises of better things to come. Think of your favorite show and how you wouldn't want the whole run judged by the first episode. Exceptions: My So-Called Life, Twin Peaks, Freaks and Geeks, Wonderfalls, Arrested Development and Lost.

That said, Poochinski and The Dog Police were understandably rejected. Here are the shows that were approved the same year: Hull High (which I liked!), Uncle Buck, Ferris Bueller, Cop Rock, and Haywire:



Lookwell would have been part of the 1991-92 season. Instead of a show written by Robert Smigel and Conan O'Brien the networks picked up Herman's Head, The Torkelsons and Drexell's Class. 



That's Brittany Murphy, A.J. Langer and Jason Biggs as some of the kids.

Captain America II: Death Too Soon stars Reb Brown (Space Mutiny, Strike Commando, Howling II: ... Your Sister Is a Werewolf. Oh man, we have to get Brown in the five timers club), Connie Sellecca and, oh yeah, Christopher Lee. TV shows that actually made it to air the same year were Flo, The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Pink Lady and Tenspeed and Brown Shoe:





A show where Ron Silver plays himself and has a talking motorcycle, Heat Vision and Jack, wasn't good enough for the 1999 TV season but 20/20 Downtown, Clerks, Daddio and Shasta McNasty were.



Here's what happened last week:
