Talk:Oh, No! Not THEM! (Unaired "The Young Ones" US Adaptation Pilot)/@comment-199.255.218.28-20141226202316

Years ago when I still had access to a C-Band satellite dish, I used to make a habit of recording the upfront presentations of the major broadcast networks. At that time they would show the upfronts on the network's satellite feed channel on a closed-circuit basis intended for reception to their affiliates, but were receivable to anyone with a satellite dish. One of those upfront presentations I used to have on tape was the one for the Fox '90-'91 season, and among the shows was a 5 minute sizzle reel of a new show called "Oh No, Not Them!". The only thing I really remember from the footage shown was one of the characters making a phone call and dialing the wrong number which connected him briefly with comedian Bob Newhart, who made a filmed cameo. From what I remember the show looked amusing and I was looking forward to watching it, but it ultimately wasn't picked up by Fox.

Sadly I lost many of my tapes over the years during various moves, including the tape that included the "Oh No, Not Them!" preview. I only mention this to let you know that the footage was shown and was put out there, so there's a chance that someone out there still has a recording of it.
