Justice League TV pilot

[Random Axe]

One word, one all-emcompassing word for this...

Unwatchable.

How does this kind of tripe get financing? WHo signed off on this and why aren't they dead? That was some of the worst acting and worst casting I've EVER seen. The constuming wasn't even remotely close and the dialogue was written by a nine year old. I thought maybe I'd get a laugh or two watching this. It was so pathetic, I couldn't being myself to even smile. They were obviously trying to capitalize on Friends by creating a show where the JLA hangs out in an apartment talking about their miserable lives. The only part that wasn't puke-inducing was Martian Manhunter. WHile the makeup was childish, the actor was at least convincing. And he looked familiar, but I can't place him.

Avoid this. Save wear and tear on your synapses. DOn't make the same mistake as I did.

LOL.....I also watched it, it was so hard to sit through it, but it was late, and I tell myself it was a bad dream!

David Ogden Stiers of MASH fame....

Was this actually written around the same time as Friends? I've seen it before, and thought it was earlier than that.

[The Toyroom]

^ This pilot was from 1997...Friends was already 3 years old...

[Bizarro Amy]

1997? I always thought it was from the 80s. Crap no matter when it was written though.

as bad as it is if you look at the JL / JLE in the mid 90's(post JM Dematius) when they tried to change from the goofy blue beetle and booster bits, horndog wally flash, or kid capt marvel jokes to the serious evil max lord era you'll get where the creative vein of it is.

the littany of flaws with the pilot are many hence why it never got beyond pilot

Was this on TV or something? I've yet to see this. I finally sat through the gawd-awful Corman FF movie. My son actually liked it!

No,it didn't make it on TV if I remember right. You'd usually find it in an ad in Toy Shop someone was selling it with other shows that didn't fare too well.

[bizzaro megomauler]

we really need to make an "avoid at all costs list". I actually thought the first 1/2 hour of the corman ff movie was a hoot. "The Jeweler?"... I agree it bit the big one after the 60's batman nostalgia wears off, and you realize it's a serious movie.... Other stinkers include "Captain America" from the 90's. The Captain America made for tv movies, where they couldn't even get a costume correct....(though death too soon was not bad plot wise). oh and the list would march on and on...

I've seen copies at cons, but I thought some cable network may have ran it this weekend, with all of the talk. It should have been an extra on one of the JLU sets or Flash or something.

I'd like to see it out of morbid curiosity.

I used to have a copy but it was poor quality. I did watch it a few times though. it was really poorly made.
