In Loving Memory of Heat Vision & Jack (FOX): The cult-classic 1999 pilot never ordered to series. This epic sci-fi thriller spoof was directed by Ben Stiller, and starred Jack Black, Owen Wilson, & Ron Silver. It was created by Dan Harmon, the mind behind another cult show, Community, and was something ahead of its time - or, in other words, beyond the network's capacity for marketing. A show that would thrive on Adult Swim today, Heat Vision & Jack died before ever reaching the air. All we have of the Knight Rider knock off is one 30-minute episode with the most expensive soundtrack of all time, and special effects only a mother could love. Thanks to the charity table reading of the pilot that took place during quarantine, the show is more popular than ever, and today's episode briefly recaps exactly what made it so great.
