I saw the pilot for W*A*L*T*E*R. Now I know beyond a doubt why they never made it into a series. Here's an interesting tidbit: It was directed by Bill Bixby! I wouldn't be surprised if it did NOT appear on his resume. Even having the asterisks in the title (Radar's real name of course) is dumb.

O'Reilly returns to Iowa, sells the farm & livestock and sends his mother to live with his aunt. His new bride leaves him for another man right after their honeymoon. (what!?) He decides to commit suicide, and goes to a drugstore to buy sleeping pills to overdose (+ aspirin b/c sleeping pills give him headaches (broom-che!)). The drugstore clerk, Victoria Jackson!, cheers him up and they become friends. His cousin Wendell gets him a job on the police force in St. Louis. Jocularity ensues.

Radar goes back home and they make a show about him AFTER he loses the farm? Blech. You may as well have a show about him after he BUYS the farm! To have a show about Radar anywhere but in Ottumwa Iowa is bogus. Miss this! I seal it: DNW: Do Not Watch!

This is the only review I have ever written for IMDb. I will keep it short and simple. I haven't seen the full movie yet but I have seen enough and I can state - knowing full well what will happen and having seen the ending - that this is perhaps the worst movie I have ever ever seen!!!!!

Do not see this movie - Even for free! It is a waste of time - time you will never get back!

No likable characters - No redeemable qualities - No good direction, script, cinematography - No Nothing! I am in the dark - Literally - it is so dark I can't see anything!

Take my advice - don't even see this to see what the fuss is about! Or even just for giggles! Stay away!
