Cadets (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadets_(1988_TV_pilot)) was intended to be Soleil Moon Frye's next big starring vehicle after the conclusion of Punky Brewster. But it only made it as far as a pilot. ABC actually aired it (http://www.tvtango.com/listings?filters%5Bdate%5D%5Bmonth%5D=9&filters%5Bdate%5D%5Bday%5D=25&filters%5Bdate%5D%5Byear%5D=1988&commit.x=18&commit.y=13) as counter programming against NBC's Summer Olympics coverage from Seoul:

Besides, Solei Moon Frye, Cadets also featured a pre-Family Matters Jaleel White and a pre-Parker Lewis Can't Lose Corin Nemec. Also in the pilot was William Sadler, who has been in a lot of things, such as the Grim Reaper in Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, the chief villain in Die Hard 2, the President of the United States (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Ellis) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Steve McGarrett's father (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Hawaii_Five-0_(2010_TV_series)_characters#John_McGarrett) on the Hawaii 5-0 reboot, the original Roswell as Sheriff Jim Valenti (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheriff_Jim_Valenti), the Jesse Stone (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Stone_(character)) series (https://jesse-stone.fandom.com/wiki/Gino_Fish) with Tom Selleck, and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as Luther Sloan (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_recurring_Star_Trek:_Deep_Space_Nine_characters#Sloan,_Luther). And finally, there was Richard Roundtree (AKA John Shaft (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Shaft)) to round things out.
The pilot I presume, was only aired once, and has since been considered "lost media" (https://forums.lostmediawiki.com/thread/4359/abc-pilot-episode-cadets-1988):
