| JULY FOYEURISM: PILOT ERROR 3: FAILURE TO LAUNCH |
[Jul. 7th, 2008|02:08 am] |
July Foyeurism has arrived and we're going to delve into the wonderful world of failed TV pilots one last time. this will more than likely be the final installment of the PILOT ERROR series for the foreseeable future. Personally, I thought last month's PILOT ERROR 2 Foyeurism was one of my lesser articles, not just because the two pilots in question were stinkers, but also because I was feeling burned out big time. I think this month's screwy offering is a vast improvement since this time I had four pilots to feel enthusiastic about one way or another.
POOCHINSKI - Peter Boyle as a cop killed in the line of duty who returns to life as a talking bulldog muppet that reunties with his partner to take a bite out of crime
WHERE'S RODNEY? - Rodney Dangerfield in a sitcom about a teen with the power to teleport the famous comedian to his location so that he can offer sage advice about life and love in between "no respect" jokes
TAGTEAM - "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and Jesse "The Body" Ventura as - what else - pro wrestlers who get blackballed from the ring and start a new career as tag team policemen
SAMURAI - A Japanese-American played by an Italian-American who works as a lawyer by day, but by night he fights the criminals the law can't touch as a samurai vigilante who uses his samurai sword for everything except that which a samurai sword is intended
Two stinkers. Two winners. Good stuff all around.

Wishman. Oh my God, I remember that. I wondered why they never showed the creature in the promos. After I saw the film I knew why. I must have jumped back ten feet when that thing showed it's face! | |
