HIGH PRAISE "Packed with amusing failures." Chicago Sun-Times And for a review of the TV show based on the book... Best TV Shows, based on the book Unsold Television Pilots by coexecutive producer Lee Goldberg, is a breezy hour of clips from sample episodes of series that the networks decided against ordering. Not surprisingly, most of them stinkwhich is why the special is such a good time. You'll slap your head in disbelieftry not to hurt yourselfat the idea of John Denver as a singing FBI agent. You'll wonder whether Joe Penny as a samurai district attorney would have been funnierunintentionallythat John Belushi's Saturday Night Live. And you'll think Scott Bakula is pretty down to earth in Star Trek: Enterprise after you see him in a busted pilot as a wacky scientist who accidentally merges with a satellite.
