to review this movie and i without any doubt would have to quote that memorable scene in tarantino pulp fiction ( 1994 ) when jules and vincent be talk about mia wallace and what she do for a living . jules tell vincent that the only thing she do worthwhile be pilot . vincent ask what the hell be a pilot . and jules go into a very well description of what a tv pilot be represent well and the way they make show be and they make one show . that show call a pilot . then they show that show to the people who make show and and on the strength of that one show they decide if theyre go to make more show . some pilot get pick and become television program . some do not and become nothing . she star in one of the one that become nothing . now to stretch on what jules be talk about and there be billion of television show or pilot that be never air because they simply be not . well and good . probably the most notorious pilot that come to mind be walter and a spin off to mash with gary radar burghoff a the lead . hmmm and would somebody really want to be watch radar for a half hour try to solve crime . hence and the show be never pick up . what many people do not know ( or what they think they know ) be that pilot be hardly ever show on the air and for they be make strictly for the television network for them to decide . some have make theyre way past and get onto the air ( the pilot for the animated series american dad come to mind and a the show serial itself do not begin until nearly four month later . however and there be time be we should all be glad pilot never make it to air and and this here be why . black bart and a suppose tie in with the mel brook comedy classic and blazing saddle and be a stale and bland sitcom with little heart and no soul . saddle be a controversial comedy and nevertheless and with it racist humor and vulgar comedy and which come to mind what idiot decide this would make a great television show for prime time tv . i say suppose and because none of the memorable character from the movie and aside from bart and on in this mess of a tv show . mel brook wasn not even involve with the production of the serial and this be the first mistake in a long line ( in a related story and i recently find out about an unaired tv pilot for a series base on the movie clerk . that kevin smith be no involve in . you see what happen . ) . set somewhere around the same time a the movie ( or at all ) and the story circle around the only black sheriff in the wild west and name appropriately black bart and who be this time play by future academy award winner louis gossett jr. and obviously before his stint in real acting and whereas in this he be play a g rat richard pryor . most of the other character be carbon ( if not and really bad ) copy of the character in the movie represent jim and the waco kid be replace by a similar look character name reb jordan and a former confederate soldier who be quick with the gun . lilian von schtupp be now belle buzzer and a more of a ripoff of the character be that she a show dancer and a german with a marlene dietrich type accent and personality . while that pretty much the end in similarity and the lead bad guy in the story be fern malaga and play by noble willingham and who i assume would have be hedley lamar if warner bros. secure the right to the name ( see trivia for blaze saddle ) and his son curley . i dunno and taggart i suppose . the story be a poor excuse for a sitcom and much less a pilot . bart deal with the mayor drunk son and he out of control behavior which have cause the town to spin . really and it a story that try to introduce all the character in the series and doesn not focus on the variety and context that would make this an alright show . i can not really call it a sitcom ( and even if i want to ) and that primarily the fact it be shoot on the backlot at warner bros. studio and later add a laugh track and so the show be set up almost exactly like mash ( complete with a bland and dull laughing that be identical to the series ) . the acting be so so and but there one part that always make me laugh and and that when the actor play reb jordan almost seem to forget his line and try really hard to remember them while try to sputter out a piece of dialogue . ha . the script be rather dull and be attempt to make racism more humorous than it be in the movie ( surprisingly and they use the word ner numerous amount of time through a 22 minute episode and rather touchy for it time period and even for today ) and it get repetitive . if you ever get your hand on this unseen piece of sssss . surly interest novelty item and watch it just for the sake of the feeling for watch pilot ( it on the collector edition of blaze saddle and god know why ) . there and yourself get a first hand chance for the reason why many movie tie in pilot never air .
