Summary: As the result of a NASA miscalculation, Astronaut Jack Austin flew to close to the sun, the rays expanding his mind and making him the smartest man on the planet. Now he and his talking motorcycle (who contains the mind of his former roommate) are on the run from NASA and their assain, actor Ron Silver who want to take his brain. They travel from place to place solving paranormal mysteries with the help of Jack's newfound ability to become a super genius when his brain absorbs sunlight. (imdb)

I say a round Earth is a blessing. Each day you can see a new horizon. Goodnight.

Boy, do I wish they'd made more episodes of this.

Pretty funny, but it's obvious that it would have been a relatively short-lived series even had the pilot been picked up. While Wilson is spot on as Heat Vision, the irony of the plot soon starts to drag. Good for fans of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, but not many others.

A fairly amusing satire of TV buddy cop shows. It's so quirky and self-aware I'm not sure if it could have maintained itself as a TV series, but as a pilot, it's pretty funny.

Hilarious spoof of classic "man on the run" TV series like Six Million Dollar Man, and Incredible Hulk. It's easy to see why this didn't get picked up (it's too bizarre), but it is a shame that Fox isn't daring enough to air something like this anymore, as it's hysterically funny. I've heard rumblings that Stiller is trying to turn it in to a movie, and if so, I'll be seeing that opening night.

Really not all that funny or clever despite its cult rep
