Here's a pilot that never got airborne, from 1993. After about 5 months of meetings, a complete pharmacist recast, and three days of shooting video at pharmacies and laudromats that are no longer in business, I assembled this linear editing exercise with a pair of S-VHS players and lots of tachyarrhythmia. And coffee...did I need to mention coffee?
Needless to say, the 10-episode series never went beyond these 6 minutes, and nobody gets to come around the pharmacy counter anymore without a supoena. The "even longer for a clinical degree" - the PharmD - is now the only bona-fide entry card to "Behind the Counter" these days.
Snagged this to digital just before the original from 1993 began crumbling. Lots of color shifts and sound drops..... egad....
