I'd never heard of this pilot until yesterday and was surprised that there's a copy on Youtube (thanks NBC for burning it off back in the day).
A sitcom pilot from 1980 starring Bill Daily, the divine Virginia Vestoff (in what was likely her last role), Elaine Joyce, and Michael Horton (Grady from Murder, She Wrote), among others.
This was from what some people said in the comments likely filmed on the old I Dream of Jeannie lot.
It's not too bad, aside from repeating too much and having too many characters. I'm not entirely sure about Bill as the lead but he was fine. Virginia is understated and warm and also funny in the one or two chances she gets.
The most surprising part was being filmed in this cheap video style which reminds me of low-rent horror or porn. I think it sort of works with the atmosphere.
