Okay, I just now finished watching the "Black Bart" pilot for the first time, from the "Blazing Saddles" DVD, and came online to see if IMDb had anything interesting to say about it. I was shocked and amazed to find such a mean comment about the pilot, but I certainly think everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I just hope that people will give this a proper viewing, because I quite enjoyed it. The humor's there, even if it's not in the same style as the movie. The reason for this is most likely because Mel Brooks didn't have anything to do with it. I still enjoyed it quite a bit, and am now all psyched to watch "Blazing Saddles", which I haven't seen in awhile. I think the reason this didn't get a season-full of episodes is that it's mighty risqué for 1970's TV. I mean, they use the "N-word" frequently, and make constant sexual references concerning the saloon-hostess. It would probably do a lot better now, in a world full of viewers sick with reality TV... Just another opinion...
