Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Michael Ritchie directed this between *The Fantasticks* and his death in 2001 — a bizarre footnote for a filmmaker who once shaped Robert Redford's career.
This pilot arrived during the 1998-99 season when networks desperately cloned *The X-Files*' genre-blending success — notice how even a comedy pilot needed 'mysterious government conspiracy' undertones.
