Lookwell

I just learned about this old TV pilot that never aired, but became popular ex post. Here's what Wikipedia says about it.

Lookwell was a television pilot written and produced by Conan O'Brien and Robert Smigel. It starred Adam West as a washed-up TV action hero—who at the peak of his career was ceremoniously deputized by local law enforcement—who falsely believes he can solve crimes in real life. The pilot was broadcast on NBC in July 1991 but was not picked up as a series.
