Description: Lookwell was a television pilot written and produced by Conan O'Brien and Robert Smigel. It starred Adam West as Ty Lookwell, a washed-up TV action hero—who at the peak of his career was ceremonially deputized by local law enforcement—falsely believes he can solve crimes in real life. Despite being a "personal favorite" of NBC chairman Brandon Tartikoff (who had left that position by the time the pilot aired and was replaced by Warren Littlefield), the pilot was not picked up as a series. It was broadcast on NBC on July 28, 1991 in a summer weekend timeslot reserved for burning off pilots which the network had passed on. The pilot has since become a cult classic.
