Jerry Paris directed , The Dick Van Dyke Show and Gary Marshall of Happy Days wrote the script , what a gem . Bob was a great father, comedian and human being. I think his oldest son was in the industry as well with special effects. And also a son with special needs.I think we all owe Bob a "way to go little buddy " when you watch today. "😊😊😊
Producers and actors had to take a shot which in many cases changed their lives forever. However, many shows like this one went right to the waste basket for obvious reasons. Nevertheless, the poster of this channel has struck gold and shared it with those of us who are interested in these shows that were "pitched and produced" but never picked up. Thanks for this great channel.
Really, this isn't that bad. There were certainly worse shows that made it on the air. I mean, one of the shows CBS *didn't* pass on that year was "Me and the Chimp".
The reason why the Scared Stiff comedy series is such a big deal is that it's another one of those post-Gilligan's Island phases for Bob Denver. 🏝 🤣 😆 😂 😄 🤔 🏝
@LoriKasprzak-kc7xc I never cared to bother to go into details about who Bob Denver's sons and daughters were at first. It was kept secret from me. As much as I never knew who Jim Backus' wife was in reality. I was thinking about creating a Gilligan's Planet comic book series that features real-life people who make these cameo appearances in the comic book series. It's people who are like Brock Davenport, Richard Baynard, Chris Sefloogue, and Mila Smith, who would make these cameo appearances. I've also added one extra character for the Gilligan's Planet comic book series. That's the 5 ft. 6 long straight white blonde hair crystal blue eye black lady named Teresa Dortch. She looks like the black Stephanie Courtney, who does all of these Progressive TV commercials. She's supposed to be a drug store clerk who's is supposed to be Professor Roy Hinckley's roommate. Sometimes, she bosses around Willie Gilligan. She has the brains of this outfit. 🧠 ⚫️ 🐈⬛️ ◼️ ⬛️ ♟️ ▪️ ⚫️ 👁 🧐 🥽 🙄 🙈 🤩 👁 🩵 🔮 👱🏻♀️ 👸 👱♂️ 🤔 😕 😅 😪 🤣 😂 🤔
The combination of Bob Denver & Warren Berlinger is interesting, but this vehicle destroyed any potential real comedy. Probably did help Garry Marshall hone his comedy writing skills.
I was looking for something new (to me anyways) and FUN to watch for Halloween. It was cool seeing Bob Denver in another role I never knew he played. The show was pretty bad. I can see why it never got picked up, but thanks for sharing. 🙂 Happy Halloween everyone! 🎃 👻
I always like Warren Berlinger, shame this show wasn't picked up. Warren is like a very cute William Shatner, I see Linda Kaye Henning, who played the mother, she looks familiar but I can't place the name?
@@eckankar7756 Sorry. Misunderstood your question. No idea about the mother. But I do recognize Philippe Forquet, who had just come off of The Young Rebels, as Carl the finance.
it's hard to make a succesful tv show when you have a man that's only popular in gilligan's island, like max bear jr acting career was already dead after the TV show beverly hillbilies, it's like you're career is dead after a hit show due to you're looks, people will always remember you for that hit show, and the rest of you're career is down the toilet.
Never heard of this one it could have worked as a Saturday Morning show for kids there were some Live Action shows that aired on Saturday Mornings back then.
Not true. These allegations were never proven. It was a largely made up campaign against him by Sharon’s manager who didnt want her tied down to anyone. The contract she subsequently signed forbid her from becoming publicly involved or engaged with anyone for the good of her career.
Not the best, but you can tell the actors were trying with the material that they had. Abbott and Costello vibe. It was just annoying how the Austin guy kept saying "I got it!" Bob Denver still in his "Gilligan" persona somewhat, just explained as him being an absent-minded professor. Meant to be a mystery of the week comedy with a horror twist. I'm thinking that the network was thinking "where can we fit this in our lineup?" and just gave up.

@@jbp60 that show ended a few years before gilligan's island not after, i'm talking about after, bob never cared about movies he was only caring about tv shows, shows after gilligam's island were all failures, like bob couldn't catch a break in the 70s before the gilligan's island movie came.
This seems very familiar. Was it ever aired? I have a vague recollection of being excited about a new show with Bob Denver, who I loved when I was small. Maybe I heard about it?
Ultra rare! Bob Denver never even mentioned this.
I saw an old interview where he did mention this.
I understand why🤷🏼♂️🤓😎✌🏼
I wouldn’t mention it either.

Nice to see Bob Denver play a genius for once.
He was pretty bookish in real life.
@@willgray7272I read somewhere that he was a teacher before becoming an actor.
I heard him interviewed on NPR and he was very well spoken, well read, and intelligent.
thanks for posting
Makes Dusty's Trail.look good

When I saw Capt. Austin I hoped to see Toody and Muldune
ohhhh ohhh

AHH!!
So, THAT'S where that quip on _Square One TV_ came from!
Oh Lord, but that one was awful. Poor Ted Bessell!

Yes! I got Scooby Doo vibes immediately.😂

I can see why there was only a pilot.🙉

Bob Denver's daughter bemoaned that her dad's acting skills were underrated, but Berlinger only played schmucks.

She was on Petticoat Junction, one of her father Paul Henning's "rural" comedies on CBS (along with The Beverly Hillbillies and Green Acres).
@@willgray7272 Yes, I know that, why are you explaining that? I asked who played the mother.

@@cmcb09 Thank you...I couldn't place her name
Produced for CBS, who passed on it for their 1971-'72 schedule.....and was never telecast.
This is so bad it's amazing.
Interesting that Denver got yet another series after The Good Guys.
He didn't really get this one. It does mention, above, that this was an "unsold" pilot. In other words, he did NOT get the series.
He had Dusty's Trail.
@@thomasswafford250What a pathetic series.
@@jasonbeard4713 I agree, but he did have it.

Extremely interesting casting choices, and the premise ALMOST seems plausible, but the writing? Typically bad Garry Marshall/Larry Belson.
Thank God I’m not the only one who thinks Garry Marshall’s bad.
And Philippe Forquet as Carl. Love him!
After he tired of slapping Sharon Tate around.

@@janakrentz8483 According to Vincent Bugliosi the abuse reached the point where Sharon needed to go to the hospital.
Could have called it Kill- again's island
Written by Gary Marshall
Hey, first time for anything
Bob had to know this wouldnt work. Horrible, but interesting. Bob didnt play the total idiot in this. R.I.P😥
This seems to have the same premise as The Ghostbusters tv series which ran a couple years later.
QUESTION: Why Would you need a bolt lock on the outside of the steam room door?
To keep the DEAD from getting out. 🤣
So they could make this show.

This looks like a show that would fit in after Saturday morning cartoons.

Marlyn Mason as Inga!
Bernaise Barbara on an Odd Couple episode
I’m shocked it didn’t get picked up. Wow. Who wrote this??
Not me.
Paul Reed as "Captain Foster Austin".
I liked it
I didn't.
THE Warren Berlinger?!
Robert Cornthwaite as "Martin".

Incorrect. Bob Denver was also hugely popular on Dobie Gillis playing beatnik a Maynard Krebbs.

All of these mot picked up shows should have been its lost to us now a shame
The script is worse than the colour balance.
Where's Tina Louise when you need her?
This seems very familiar. Was it ever aired? I have a vague recollection of being excited about a new show with Bob Denver, who I loved when I was small. Maybe I heard about it?
Yea, it was animated, called Scooby Doo! 😂
Wow... that was shit.
This is a clone of Scooby-Doo. It's about being P.Is. Finally, what's been revealed to me. It's also a clone of the Ghostbusters.
This was made ten years before the Ghostbusters. It can't be a clone if it came before.
@@vrinda5303 I've seen the newer Scooby-Doo cartoon series.
Terrible Idea to use such an overdone title. And second bananas can never play first banana parts.
One of the worst pilots I have ever seen
