It's a great look at just how many crappy pilots there are that get passed on, and some that make it.

Wayne Knight was pretty hot in the 90s, being in 3rd rock from the sun, seinfeld, and even jurassic park with the second most iconic line. But not enough to be leading man material.

He was basically channeling Newman there (hence the topic title) and it was actually written by one of the Seinfeld writers, the other Larry.

Larry Charles

I made it through a few minutes. It's pretty rough. I'll check the rest out later.

What did that janitor play in? He looks really familiar. Was he bizarro Kramer in that one episode?

The guy who owned the Power Rangers show was trying to get Bulk and Skull their own spinoff comedy show back in the day.

Looks like the remodeled era kitchen

I'm gonna have to watch this pilot more closely after work, but so far it seems like Newman inserted into a world vs a world properly made around Newman.

The fact that multiple people have said this is interesting, never would have crossed my mind and I used to watch that show as a kid.

He might not be fuckable, but he is edible.
