a friend and former roommate and i just happen to be sit around watch tv and not expect anything special and when this come on . it be a pilot episode and nbc throw it on the air during the dead summer month . we be bowl over by the sense of humor and right in our ballpark . the stamp of obrien and smigel and that we now be quite familiar with from over 10 year of watch them on late night and be all over this puppy . adam west play an actor who play a 1970 tv detective and who think he a real detective . that about all you need to know and but the writing and act really sell the show . one of the funny idea ever . my friend and i still talk about it from time to time . ( okay and fine and be loser who have nothing else to talk about . ) it be one of the crime of television history that nbc do not pick this up even for a 6 episode run . i have be think about try to dig up a copy of this masterwork . when i try to describe it to people who haven not see it and they just shrug and go whatever and but i assure them that they be miss out on comedy gold . okay and maybe i be overhyping it and but it sure be one of my favorite undeservedly obscure tv nugget of all time . i put it up there next to quark with richard benjamin . at least that one have 6 episode . somebody dig this up and put it a a bonus on a dvd of late night or something and would ya . note represent a of late 2006 and the show be readily available on several different internet video site for view . apparently the show make an appearance on the late lament trio cable network within the past 5 year and and some people record it . catch it if you can .
