25 years after (http://www.saint.org/actor-andrew-clarke.htm) The Saint (https://web.archive.org/web/20061031125314/http://www.jumptheshark.com/s/saint.htm) with Roger Moore (https://books.google.com/books?id=oNkyAAAAIBAJ&pg=PA17&dq=the+saint+in+manhattan+CBS&article_id=6725,6499016&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj_1PPPx5-NAxX5rokEHbZUIaQQ6AF6BAgEEAM) first appeared (https://www.saint.org/sttv.htm) on television, an attempt at a revival was made (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Saint_in_Manhattan). As you might imagine since this is pilot month, the reboot was unsuccessful (https://permissiontokill.wordpress.com/2012/08/03/the-saint-in-manhattan-1987-2-2/). It was the first pilot (https://mysteryfile.com/blog/?p=55068) ever shown (http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B0DE2DA1F3EF931A25755C0A961948260) on CBS's (http://absolutelypointless.net/tv/anthology/cbsp.html) Summer Playhouse (https://tvcharts.co/show/cbs-summer-playhouse-tt0346222) series (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBS_Summer_Playhouse). Despite not making past the pilot stage (https://thelandofwhatever.blogspot.com/2023/08/a-classic-reborn-again-saint-1987.html), the show received an overwhelmingly positive review from the home audience.
