The author, having viewed the pilot at the Library of Congress, finds it lacking in humor and coherence, with a cast of seasoned actors unable to elevate the material. The pilot's failure highlights the challenges of adapting comic strips into a TV format, a lesson seen in the contrasting paths of Scott Adams and Bill Watterson.
