It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 383, 384 & 385 - Howie (1962 Paul Lynde pilot)/18 Wheels of Justice/Carlton Your Doorman (1980 CBS pilot)

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we wrap up Pilot Month 2023 while celebrating Greg’s birthday with his Money in the Bank in between shows.
 
First, a decade before The Paul Lynde Show (see episode 103), a pilot for CBS was done which was reminiscent of the latter show.  Lynde plays the father-in-law to his new son-in-law, the "smartest man in the room though he's actually the dumbest" Howie.
 
Next, we're celebrating another of our birthdays!  Greg's getting a year older, and he wants to cover a show we have talked about for years but there was little footage of it in English until recently.  We're finally covering 18 Wheels of Justice. Can a man in the witness protection program avenge the loss of his wife and daughter by taking down organized crime and G. Gordon Liddy with the help of his big-wheeled truck?
 
Finally, our 4th annual Pilot Month concludes with an animated spin-off of a live-action show which ended two years earlier?!  Welcome to a day in the life of Carlton Your Doorman.

In the forty-third episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator/panelist Steve Riddle welcomes Keith Langston & Jon Keselica to discuss which 70’s Comedy Movies deserve a place on their respective lists. Is Blazing Saddles a no-brainer? What about The Muppet Movie? Does Monty Python & The Holy Grail grab a spot? Does National Lampoon’s Animal House or The Jerk deserve a place? After that, they discuss which 70’s Action Movies will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that Dirty Harry shouldn’t get a spot? Will The Warriors be included? Is Star Wars in the conversation?

It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 380, 381 & 382 - King of the Building/Dick Tracy ’67/Call Her Mom

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we are close to heading home for Pilot Month 2023 and in the next-to-last week we look at a trio of failed pilots.
 
First, one of the big comics in the mid-to-late 80s was Richard Lewis, known for his neurotic schtick.  Two years before a career-defining role in Anything But Love, Lewis starred in this pilot as a doorman at a New York City apartment building.
 
Next, Batman was a big TV success in 1966.  Why not follow it up with a pilot of a similar comic book staple?  Dick Tracy was a cut-and-paste job from the Batman playbook, down to the script, the scenery, and even the baddie of the week.  Just remember:  Dick Tracy, he's a good cop.
 
Finally, on the surface, Call Her Mom is reminiscent of a certain movie which would be a big hit 6 years later, but with a "den mother" caring for the fraternity.  This wasn't just a ratings hit once, but twice.  How did it not make it as a regular series?
