    This week we review Lookwell (Pilot)

    Lookwell was a television pilot written and produced by Conan O'Brien and Robert Smigel, the latter of whom would become a primary creative voice for O'Brien's late night show.

    It starred Adam West. Despite being a "personal favorite" of NBC chairman Brandon Tartikoff (who had left that position by the time the pilot aired and was replaced by Warren Littlefield), the pilot was not picked up as a series.

    It was broadcast on NBC on July 28, 1991, in a summer weekend timeslot reserved for burning off pilots which the network had passed on and has since become a cult classic.

    It stars Adam West as a washed-up TV action hero—who at the peak of his career was ceremonially deputized by local law enforcement and falsely believes he can solve crimes in real life. His student Jason (played by Todd Field) becomes his sidekick.

    Written by Conan O'Brien & Robert Smigel
    Produced by Lorne Michaels
    Directed by E. W. Swackhamer
    A BGP / Broadway Video Production.

    This week we review Not Going Out (Series 12 Episode 5)

    Not Going Out is a light-hearted, fast-paced mainstream sitcom based around the life of a man un-burdened by ambition or drive. Lee deflects criticism and bad news with his trademark wit and one-liners but deep down he is looking for love, a steady job and a flat he can call his own.

    By series 7, the will-they-won't-they tension between Lee and Lucy reach new highs, with Lee eventually proposing to Lucy.

    In series 8 we pick up the couple's story seven years later.

    The pair now live in a comfortable semi-detached home in Walton-on-Thames with their three kids: Charlie, and twins Benji and Molly but how has layabout Lee survived these dramatic life-changes?

    Created by Lee Mack
    Produced by Alex Hardcastle, Nick Wood, Charlie Hanson, Jamie Rix, Richard Allen-Turner, Lee Mack, Jon Thoday, Sally Debonnaire and more
    Directed by Alex Hardcastle and Nick Wood
    An Avalon / Arlo Production for the BBC.

    213 - Bob's Burgers
    Sep 13 2022
    This week we review Bob’s Burgers (Series 12 Episode 1)

    The show features the Belcher family. Bob, his wife Linda, and their children Tina, Gene, and Louise.

    The family runs a burger restaurant on Ocean Avenue in an unnamed seaside community (informally known as "Seymour's Bay" among the show's writing staff).

    Bob's Burgers is located in a green two-story building which features an apartment on the second floor where the Belcher family lives. The restaurant is sandwiched between two other commercial buildings, one of which houses "It's Your Funeral Home and Crematorium". As a running gag, the other building is shown in the opening credits to be a new business each week, often with names which are elaborate puns.

    Created by Loren Bouchard
    Produced by Bernard Derriman
    A Willo Production.
