I'm sure the single episode that aired came on after my bedtime...

I ain't never heard of this show. I'd love to see an episode.

I particularly like the show's co-opted Bob Peak "Our Man Flint" illustration; 1966 by way of 2004.

Must be a new Struggling Screenwriter trick: claim owning the re-make rights to a "classic" TV show that never actually existed to begin with. Hell, Paramount would buy it no questions asked.

Isn't it a little late for April Fools? Speaking of which, remind me tomorrow... I've got a onesheet you guys are gonna love.

Never heard of it, but I wish I had!
I've got a bunch on Honey West episodes on tape, though.

Carson spotted it for what it is - a hoax.... of sorts. Apparently it's a new show for FOX, in the guise of a 1960's series too controversial for it's time. I'm not all that interested in the 'controversial aspects' but I'm curious to see a new series that tries to recreate the look and feel of the 1960's.

That's quite cool (kids tell me if I say "cool" these days I'm not).

I'm enjoying being hoaxed and look forward to the show (my bedtime's a little later these days. not much.)

I thought the hot pants looked a little "off" for 1966, but still I was fooled.

Scott,
I'm sure there will be the inevitable anachronisms but, they'll probably sidestep the Hot Pants issue by saying that 'Honey' had a fashion sense that was ahead of her time.

Maybe Anne Francis and Brenda Vacarro will play her "aunts". Hopefully, Brenda won't wear the hot pants she sported in "Midnight Cowboy".

I've always wondered who's more embarrassed by their role in "MC", Vaccaro or or long time character actor Bob Balaban(Who picks up Joe Buck in a mens room iirc).

Interesting trivia, the huge mansion with tennis court featured at the beginning of the original "Sabrina" was the house Balaban grew up in..
