remo williams be the pilot episode for a tv series which be never film . it be only see by viewer in some u city and a a major speech by president reagan at the republican national convention pre empted it in most area . i suspect that most viewer out west who do see it be so numb by it dullness that they have forget . the writer stuff every stereotype and every stock character and and every banality they could fit into the pilot . every tired joke be play out while every move be telegraph . even mcdowell and meek couldn not do much about the stale dialogue and poor directing . sadly and the depth of character and original humor and slight moral ambiguity of the original movie and the book on which it be base be erase in a weak attempt to cater to the low common denominator . it do not work .
