Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe set for Ty Lookwell's home has a bust of William Shakespeare that's a duplicate of the one in Wayne Manor, concealing the "Access to Bat-Cave via Bat-Poles" controls, in Batman (1966).
- Quotes
Ty Lookwell: Did you do that shopping I asked you to do?
Hyacinthe: I tried, but the store said they don't make that hairspray anymore.
Ty Lookwell: Those fools.
- Alternate versionsWhen this pilot was re-aired in 2003 on the Trio network, a few cuts were made to fit in the 22 minute time slot. The biggest difference was the deletion of the epilogue in which Lookwell announces to his class that Jason and Miss Royster were sent to jail for stealing the car. Then, he introduces his two new students who are the Samoan prisoners that Lookwell met earlier in jail. Finally, he shows the class another scene from "Bannigan".

How about now?
I saw this show today and was highly entertained! The writing is excellent (I wasn't surprised, knowing O'Brien and Smigel were involved) and Adam West was as great as ever. The type of storytelling here isn't exactly new, but with the writing and the ever-likable West, it really worked. Too bad the networks didn't agree.
So, how about now? Would this show work now if they did it again? I'm sure Mr. West would be willing to give it another go, and if it was on NBC, well, they need all the help they can get right now and this is the kind of show that could help them get out of their 4th place rut, if only to a small degree. I know I would love to see this cult hit resurrected!
Random thought: if The Max Weinberg 7 played the Lookwell theme as Conan went to his desk and he didn't know about it, I wonder if he'd recognize it?
