Wishman clip (Failed TV Pilot)

[completebastard]

Kill it, cremate the ashes and blow up the island we bury it on.

[tberwick1]

Ah, so thats what Linda Hamilton did after the Terminator films

[jayanxiety]

Wishman looks like a Teletubby!

[MegaBatmanbeyond]

@jayanxiety yes lol

[cbrentner]

I remember seeing this pilot when it aired. I wish I'd had the means to save a copy.

[Raquethands]

That terrible movie "Splice" totally jacked this show's plot!

[JINJIN168]

"look at that stupide thing!"

[irenaprude2010]

Amazingly bad!! 

[vardiss22]

i guess they got it right with ALF a few yrs later

[mistertakeda]

If Jeff Goldblum was the scientist, this show would have been a hit.

Picture it.

[Flisskat]

why is its only dialouge, ah-haaa?

[MRMOGAVERO]

Keep on running

[tbone2004]

Now here's the $128,000 question:

WHY DID VIACOM THINK THIS WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA?

[tokuanimecitvguy]

Most pilots are better than the real thing.

[camartinez6]

LOL!

[saltypoe]

the narrator is an asshole

[capnspl0tch]

I remember my pop recording this for me so that I could watch it on the weekend. I was just 7 and knew what the creators of this show were trying to cash in on LOL! I think that thing was just too creepy looking for the masses. It looked too human. Linda Hamilton was hot though!

[GusF]

Hmm, I wonder which movie this was inspired by. Any ideas people?

[zimmawoman]

yeeeaaah im not wondering why this was just a pilot

[BottomlessJackDaniel]

What was the name of this show these Failed Pilots were shown on?

[RattleheadSwe]

*facedesk*

[mikeboas]

I'm getting weird deja vu off this. I think I actually watched this and liked it as a kid -- did they ever air this pilot?

[kyle911]

Hey, Ben made this show.

[kebsis]

This is a clip from a show that showcases failed TV pilots, it's not the actual pitch for the show. That's why the narrator is making fun of it.

[martinrking]

Aha!

[eIegantelephant]

that kind of thing is scarier than chuckie o_o

[CatrionaMM]

haha, I love how it showed the clip of it gasping three times. the voice over guy isn't trying very hard to get us to like the wishman though

[Venturi01]

FAIL!!!!

[onceuponadream24]

i can't help it! what the fuck!?

[mooxim]

who did the voice over? He's taking the piss.

[panacea999]

it's my mission to see this film before i die

[girlunderground]

This would be so much better with out the dumb narrator!

[doobiesmoke15]

I hope someone can post more clips of this online.

[Bat151]

Wow, I have a vague recollection of this! I was 4 when it originally aired, and my parents & big brother recorded it (on BetaMax! lol). They taped over it, which upset me greatly when I was little. Good to finally see it again, even if only in clips :)

[gorillaallstars10]

This is a E.T Rip off ,i guess they were trying to cash in on the fad

[ProjectFlashlight612]

Linda Hamilton went from The Terminator to this....man, was she drunk when they explained the premise?

[tunnels3]

@ProjectFlashlight612 No this was a year before Terminator

[cjodigo]

omg.....I remember this from elementary school days....my mom and I both loved it and never knew if it was a one time thing or what. we didn't know it was a bombed show. We actually loved it and were looking forward to seeing more episodes!!

[feliccias]

What a rip off of ET. I remember that thing

[4thtroika]

I actually remember watching this! I didn't think it was all that bad. I wouldn't mind seeing it again.

[conewells]

anything that's shot on 35MM is NOT low-budget. It's damn expensive to shoot on film- and for what? To be rejected? Madness.

[marionlawless]

I remember this!

[Tsotha]

H. P. Lovecraft wished (no pun intended ;)) he could have thought of something that thoroughly terrifying. Even the infernal sounds that abomination produces are truly bloodcurdling.

THIS is the fearful equilibrium between creepiness and cuteness that "Neon Genesis Evangelion"'s Rei Ayanami was supposed to inhabit but failed to.

[edharris1978]

God, that thing is creepy!

[krytensyxx]

How the hell did that thing manage to look better than the aliens in "Mac & Me"?

[troodon9999]

Not exactly a very high hurdle to jump over, is it?

[krytensyxx]

Considering the budget this show probably had... Yes. Think about it. Mac & Me was overloaded with product placement and the aliens still looked like they were slapped together over a drunken weekend.

Wishman actually looks less like an abomination. Almost cute in a way.

[Tareltonlives]

And I thought Noseybonk was the stuff of nightmares...
