Lookwell

A One-Episode Wonder unsold pilot that aired on NBC in 1991. Written by Conan O'Brien and Robert Smigel, Lookwell starred Adam West as Ty Lookwell, a has-been actor who played the title role in a detective show called Bannigan. He tries to use his TV crime-solving experience (and an honorary badge he received because of his TV show) to solve actual crimes, which he does poorly.

Tropes used in Lookwell include:

Adam Westing: Duh.
I Know Mortal Kombat: Lookwell thinks he can use his TV crime-solving experience to solve real crimes, but fails.
