Evening Entertainment: The unsold pilot for HIGH SCHOOL USA (1984) with Crispin Glover, Jon Gries & an all-star cast

Sure, you may be aware of the 1983 made-for-TV movie HIGH SCHOOL USA, featuring Michael J. Fox, Nancy McKeon, Todd Bridges and an all-star cast of notable '60s TV stars, but few recall that the film was successful enough to warrant an attempt at a TV series, with several cast members (Crystal Bernard, Crispin Glover, Jon Gries) returning for the pilot that never went anywhere. Directed by Jack Bender (CHILD'S PLAY 3) and written by Zucker Bros. collaborator Pat Proft, the pilot also features Barbara Billingsley, Henry Gibson, Jerry Mathers, Ricky and Harriet Nelson, Julie Newmar, Ken Osmond, Burt Ward and Dick York.
