We see posts on this board about sitcoms that were never given a chance to be successful, but at the same time I say the following failed TV Pilots should've been given a chance:

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO STRAW--About a janitor who secretly runs a corporate office, by disrupting the normal order of things. It was hilarious.
HOMEROOM---An early '80's sitcom about a brother & sister who enter a new high school(NOT BEVERLY HILLS 90210!), starring Ally Sheedy as the sister.
BEANPOLE---About the trials and tribulations of a tall 13 year old girl.
THE JACKIE BISON SHOW--More or less an animated version of "The Jack Benny Program."


Now post your selections. Just don't e-mail me. I'm full enough as it is.
