Anyone ever see this? How was it?

[MIB41]

Interesting! I've never seen that before. I would love to have a copy of that to see if it was any good. Fun idea!

Hmmm - Eve Plumb (Jan Brady) was listed in the opening credits. Could have broke through the Brady stereotype and saved her career with this role.

WOW!!! Never saw that before! Who knows if that would have been another cult show from the 60's

Hmmmm......Victor Buono (King Tut) as Mr. Memory.....

I dont think this pilot ever aired? I first heard about it a few years back in a booklet that came with a collected cd set of the Ventures. They did the theme song....and their version (without the crappy lyrics) is fantastic!

Hmmmm....

So this Tracy character.... is he a good cop or not?

Dick Tracy is another one of them characters that's been reinterpreted a zillion times over the years. This show comes from the late 60's; when the newspaper strip was kinda comickey, and the show shows it. Kinda funny to see, since the original comic had a real "bronson/Deathwish" thing going on.

'Course if they did a show based on the CURRENT comic it'd be like a moving Dali painting.
