I recently stumbled upon an unaired TV sitcom pilot from the ’90s that was based on one of my all-time favorite movies… and somehow I had no idea it was even a thing that happened until 30 years after the fact. Now I am questioning everything about my pop culture knowledge and expertise.

After discovering the said pilot in question, I went down a rabbit hole of awful TV shows attempted by the various networks that were based upon some of the most awesome movies of my childhood and adolescence throughout the late ’70s, ’80s and ’90s.
