Pilots that should've been successful - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

D-Dey · 08-13-2001, 07:51 AM

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.

"Chrissy's job offer"
Chrissy considers taking a job in Alaska.

"American Worker Bee"
Sarah thinks Chrissy works too hard.

Those are just some of Sitcomwriter's TC Spinoffs.

I-Man Starring Scott Bakula as a cab driver and father who became superhuman after he saved his son and others in the park after a NASA van crashes in the park. It contane a strange space gas that blew him up and made him into I-Man. It was on the A Wonderfull World Of Disney in the 80's. He made this before Quantum Leap.
