Lookwell!

"Lookwell!" might be the funniest television series that was never made. It was created and written by Conan O'brien (I am looking forward to his return to late night next week) and Robert Smigel (The guy behind Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and those SNL Cartoons) way back in 1991. Sounds pretty good so far right? Wait it gets better. The show was about a washed up actor (played by Adam West) who used to be a famous TV cop. In between auditions and teaching an acting class he attempts to solve crimes. He feels he is entitled to do so because he was awarded an honorary police badge back at the height of his fame. Hillarious! The pilot episode of the show was the only one ever made. If you have 22:40 to kill, please enjoy...




What is the second funniest TV series that was never made? I am glad you asked. I can't be sure, because I can't find the pilot episode anywhere, but judging by the shows Title sequence, it might have to be "Heat Vision and Jack". Jack Black played an astronaught who comes back from space with super inteligence. Owen Wilson played his talking motor cycle/best friend. Wow. If any one has a copy of this show, I need to see it.
