Lookwell.
Ah, yes.
“Here’s my headshot.”
It does sound interesting. Though Carpathian’s make me think of the series by Christine Feehan. But definitely not the same thing. I love the Tanya Huff books, and the show is pretty good too (I love what they did with Henry Fitzroy… yum).
Illeanarama. I love Illeana Douglas, and this one camera deadpan Hollywood spoof made me laugh ALOT. Jeff Goldblum, Ed Begley Jr, and Justine Bateman were great in their guest spots too. I could definitely get into seeing this on a weekly basis.
I’ve forgotten what it was called, but there was a movie about an assassin who becomes a monk or priest, and eventually has to pick up his gun again. It’s framed round an inquisition and at the very end the four (?) inquisitors reveal that they are part of a secret church assassination squad. That might have been interesting.
I came in to specifically mention the Questor Tapes, He also had a pilot/movie that was about the repopulation of earth after some disaster… Ark 2 or Genesis 2 I think…
I suspect you’re thinking of one of the two far-future earth pilots he made, Genesis II (the one that has the double-omphalic Mariette Hartley Genesis II (TV Movie 1973) - IMDb ), or Planet Earth ( Planet Earth (TV Movie 1974) - IMDb ) .
I could swear there was a third one, but I can’t find it.
Neither was about repopulating the earth, but featured less-populated and weirdly populated futures, with a sort of super-subway connecting different areas takling the place of the Enterprise in whisking the heros from place to place each week.
Aha! Here is is: Strange New World. Roddenberry wasn’t directly involved, though:
just for the sheer offensiveness of it i’d love to see more episodes of “heil honey i’m home”
I wanted Ultraviolet to become a series. That was the intent with the mini-series, but they didn’t pick it up so it was left hanging by the final part.
I thought Island City had some potential to be good stupid fun. Ditto The Adventures of Captain Zoom in Outer Space.
You’re right. That was hilarious!
Did you ever see the actual movie, with Fred Ward as Remo Williams?
Actually, the show (which only lasted for four episodes) was called Khan! As the linked summary notes, Dhiegh is believed to be the only lead actor to have no billing in the credits of his series.
There was a syndicated series called Mutant X which was pretty good as long as you remember they had a FX budget of $5 a week.
The pilot for SuperDog (Superpup?) was so deliciously bad, I wish they’d made a series out of it.
I don’t think that the Dark Shadows mini-series was supoosed to be a pilot for a regular series, but I kept hoping they’d bring it back.
I believe it was Superpup- basically, the George Reeves Superman series, but all the roles are played by little people (“midgets,” to use the un-PC term) in dog costumes. Very strange.
I did. Not great cinema, but it would’ve made a great TV series.
Same here. I’m a huge fan of the comic (I own every issue), and I enjoyed the movie despite the low budget and the absence of Paige, Jono and Penance. It definitely had potential.
