Unaired pilots?....any recommendations?

Richard Dower · 18-10-2009 1:34pm #1

Every year a bunch of pilots get made and for one reason or another never get picked up, sometimes these same pilots hit the net. While no one is asking to find such pilots one wonders if any members have seen unaired pilots that you thought were good.

If you can recomend anything or you saw something you liked do post.
I'll give one example `Body Politic`....30 min pilot can be found on YT.

The Time Tunnel loved the original series made in the late 60s. It was show on Sky when it first started up, if I remember correctly. While browsing I came across a remake which never seen the light of day made in 2002. If you can find it, its well worth the watch. The only downside is you it will be wanting more, well I did anyway.

The pilot for Aquaman-the series was enjoyable/interesting-featuring Smallvilles Green Arrow as Aquaman!

Aquaman was terrible.

I found Time Tunnel and looking forward to having a watch when it comes down. Apparently they are going to have another go again too.

Heat Vision and Jack

Starring Jack Black and Owen Wilson (as the voice of the motorcycle). Directed by Ben Stiller.

Looks funny but you can't watch the full pilot on Youtube outside of America.

Yeah that was suppose to air back in 05/06 but nothing ever came of it

Heatvision and Jack is the best.Casting Ron Silver as himself was genius.

I know this is off topic, but anyone seen The Master. It was like the A-team except it was Lee van Cleef as the only American ninja ever and hes being chased by a Japanese Ninja. Its priceless 80s action tv. 3 episodes are downloadable at archive.net or.org. Also lots of great oldtime tv and radio shows available there.

Briano.

Nah, it got cut....Brian Austin Green was in the pilot (split second) though he was to have a proper role, the gorgeous Minka Kelly....never got past pilot, Life Unexpected seems to have garnered alot of attention and positive buzz.

Body Politic is an upcoming television series starring Minka Kelly, Gabrielle Union, Jason Dohring, and Brian Austin Green that is expected to debut on The CW in the fall of 2009. It is produced by CBS Television Studios. After much speculation on the show's status, it was pronounced dead when the show did not appear in the CW's fall schedule. However, on May 21, in a interview with Dawn Ostroff, the CW's CEO stated the show is still in consideration for midseason.[1][2] On August 4th Dawn Ostroff announced that the project is officially dead for the CW.[3] It is unknown if NBC or ABC will pick it up on the future.
