WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesUpon later cult success, the pilot was, as co-creator and co-writer Robert Smigel later stated in a retrospective interview concerning the series, the subject of a film offer from an unnamed studio. The offer was of no interest to Smigel, however, as the studio wished to recast the lead character of Lookwell with that of a bigger star, namely Nicolas Cage. The offer in the end, of course, fell through, because, according to the writer, without Adam West it simply 'wouldn't work'.
- Zitate
Ty Lookwell: Did you do that shopping I asked you to do?
Hyacinthe: I tried, but the store said they don't make that hairspray anymore.
Ty Lookwell: Those fools.
- Alternative VersionenWhen this pilot was re-aired in 2003 on the Trio network, a few cuts were made to fit in the 22 minute time slot. The biggest difference was the deletion of the epilogue in which Lookwell announces to his class that Jason and Miss Royster were sent to jail for stealing the car. Then, he introduces his two new students who are the Samoan prisoners that Lookwell met earlier in jail. Finally, he shows the class another scene from "Bannigan".

Ausgewählte Rezension
My husband saw a clip from this on the Adam West Bio and
hunted it down on eBay. It was worth every cent, and actually gets
funnier every time I watch it. It's obvious, if you know and
appreciate Conan OBrien's sense of humor, that he had a good
hand in the writing. Adam West is perfectly cast and for those of
you who thought he had no sense of humor about himself...just
watch. Words can't do it justice... down to the last detail, this pilot is
hilarious and if I think for too long about the fact it didn't get picked
up, I wnt to bang my head against the wall (or bette yet, bang some
network exec who makes these genius decisions against a wall).
I defy anyone with a sense of humor to sit through this without
giglling uncontrollably in the first 5 minutes (at least once).
10/10 stars. Hunt it down or wait till it's on Trio again...it's worth it,
trust me.
