Deadpan TV
Part of Trio’s “Brilliant but Cancelled,” “Lookwell” features Adam West delivering a stone-faced sendup of a seventies TV detective drama. He plays an actor who played a detective on TV, and uses his honorary badge to get in the middle of crime investigations. Dig the halting, Batman-style delivery of his brilliant deductions. Best line, delivered to a younger cop who didn’t recognize him, “perhaps if you watched a little bit more television you’d be better at your job.” Robert Smigel and Conan O’Brien wrote and produced.
