Global Frequency

Warner Brothers made a pilot of a series based on a comic strip. They decided, for reasons of their own, not to show it. It leaked.

And it's pretty hokey. Sorta fun though.

The writers do seem to have raided the Big Book of cliches. Global conspiracy solves all the big-big issues that individual government organisations can'tt deal with. They inadvertantly recruit a tough guy cop/marine type who finds himself partnered with cute blonde scientist, and the obligatory acerbic relationship develops between them immediately.

We also get one storming of a government building by the head of the organisation, big climax at the end... Fixed in the nick of time. Seemed a bit by the numbers. I like lowbrow action, but I everyone would get bored with it fairly quickly if it was made into a series.
