Yeah, that's definitely notoriously weird.

So was this:
COP ROCK (1990)
Only a pilot and 10 episodes were aired.  A cop show, but also a musical!  Too odd to ignore!
One episode in particular had a courtroom case with the judge, jury, and attorneys all breaking out in song over the defendant's guilt!


This was just a dumb, weirdo idea for a cartoon:
FISH POLICE (1992)
John Ritter plays a fish cop in an undersea 30's-style town.


The 90s had plenty of bad ideas in television.. I'm sure I could think of more.

^^ I remember there being lots of hype for "Cop Rock" prior to its premiere saying how "revolutionary" it was going to be. I never bothered with it at the time cuz it sounded ridiculous.

Years later, VH1 showed a marathon of the entire series one afternoon, so I tuned in out of morbid curiosity.  I think I bailed out before the first commercial break. It was even stupider than I'd imagined!

Here's an NBC promo from 1983 featuring three "WTF" shows in it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpRypwxjEPQ

"Mr Smith," a short lived sitcom about a talking orangutan who served as an advisor to the US President
"Jennifer Slept Here," with Ann Jillian as the ghost of a dead movie star haunting her former home; and
"Manimal" with Simon MacCorkindale (of "Jaws 3") as a guy who could turn into animals.

All aired on the same night, apparently.

"Heil Honey!" was the first thing I thought of.

I was sad when "Cop Rock" was cancelled.  Bluesad

I never saw it, but consider "Poochinski": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poochinski

Peter Boyle is a tough Chicago cop. He's killed in the line of duty and reincarnated as a "flaulent" bulldog. He continues solving crimes.

Review of Jennifer Slept Here. Says it's just another fantasy sitcom, like Bewitch or I Dream of Jeanie.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING (1979) - Jack Elam in a sitcom about a Frankenstein monster? I never watched the show, but the commercials for it looked awful. It disappeared quickly.

If we're allowed to add pilots here's Steel Justice:

Steel Justice (Unsold TV Pilot) - Robosaurus Small | Large


A cops dead son is brought back as a toy robot dinosaur, which can grow into a 40-foot Mecha-Godzilla wannabe. They actually built a 40-ft robot for this. Oh yeah, the robot's ability to grow comes from some-sort of ancient mysticism called the Gift. Apparently it's also how Stonehenge was built: http://jabootu.net/?p=7718

And jabootu needs to fix those pictures.  Bluesad

Joe Millionaire was so terrible I couldn't look away. Hey, let's film a bunch of women willing to 'ho out for a chance to hang with a millionaire, then, laugh at them when we reveal they been prostituting themselves to a broke construction worker!

Yeah, man, truly WTF.

I can't help thinking that if they were that cheap and shallow they deserved to end up with nothing.

I remember that one...
As I understood it, he wasn't a slave, he just happened to be a well educated & cultured free black man in the 1860s, which was supposed to be the joke, which is why the series wasn't wasn't particularly funny...
