My roommate and I visited Hollywood in 1991 or 92 and for grins we decided to screen a show (where you watch an episode and give feedback). We were "treated" to the pilot for "The Boys of Twilight". The title was a weak double-entendre as I recall, since the show focused on the lives of the men in their twilight years who lived in the town of twilight. Since what I saw was the pilot, it didn't have much of a plot except to introduce all of the septuagenarians that lived in the town. After we were done with the screening we compared notes--we had both given it very low ratings in the screening. I was shocked to actually see an episode of it during the rerun season the following year. I figured they must have decided to fill low-value air time by burning the episodes of what was clearly a "not ready for prime time" show.
