Wishman clip (Failed TV Pilot)

WISHMAN was an unsold TV pilot from 1983 about a scientist and his wife that go on the run with a genetically engineered mini-humanoid (a doe-eyed, dwarfish sea monkey with giant anime eyes that's really more unsettling to look at that than cute) possessing magical powers. I'm sure Linda Hamilton no longer includes this one on her resume.

This clip is from an ABC TV special about rejected television pilots. If anyone knows where to trackdown a copy of WISHMAN let me know because I'm dying to see it.

Aha!

[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.

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

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

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

Picture it.
