Actually, a lot of those late 1960’s early 1970’s TV movies were made with that intent. (to be pilot episodes for a television series).  
I don’t know how “Brotherhood of the Bell” could have been a weekly series, unless Glenn Ford would (each week) uncover another secret “behind the scenes” society that actually controls the world. (How many can there be?)

As far as his acting abilities, I’d say I liked Glenn Ford. (Not one of my top 10 favorites but still always able to turn in a good performance).

So, rest in peace Glenn Ford.
