Hey true believers,

I' ve been hearing good things about a pilot for a show that was never picked up. Its a completely deadpanned show whose protagonist, Mr. Softy has an ice cream cone for a head. Stars David Caruso. Damnedest thing though, I can't find the pilot anywhere anyone got it? I would appreciate it immensely.

Was this a spinoff from The Adventures of Pete and Pete?

Here is the IMDb entry:

Was the pilot ever aired on TV?  If not, only a limited number of people would have access to it.  Around 2000 they would send out screeners on VHS tapes that only played once.

How exactly did that work Andrew? How did the tape only play once?

You know, I cannot remember what the actual mechanism was.  It has been too long, and I did take one of them apart to check out the insides.  I think that the tape would only play forward.  Trying to rewind it would either break the tape or shred it.

I believe this was aired on TV for a short time. I've read a from a few guys on the internet who'd seen it and thought it was very funny, hence my interest. That and the Ice Cream head. I'd love to see an Ice Cream head man.
