      <![CDATA[Seeing as they're trying to resuscitate The Partridge Family and stuff, they should bring this back too. Here's the pitch:<br>
<br>
Late in his teens, Wildboy becomes rudderless when Bigfoot dies (cardiac disease brought on by a rich diet of game). Bewildered, he enters the military where he's sent to any morally-ambivalent modern war of his choice. Utterly broken by that experience he returns to the hills where he was born, buys a used Ford F-150 and subsequently realizes he can mine his own past for a living, and becomes a bigfoot hunter and researcher. Sadly, though, strip mining has caused his big furry aunts and uncles to go into hiding/become extinct/move to the city to work in call centers and he can no longer find them, so he has to stage hoaxes.<br>
<br>
His moral dilemma about having to stage bigfoot evidence is complicated by his difficulties in forging a relationship with the son he had by that hot young babe in the opening above. Kind of Mutt from the last Indiana Jones movie mixed with Two and a Half Men.<br>
<br>
We can self-limit it if it gets too stale by having Ted McGinley do a recurring role as Erich VonDaaniken in seasons 3 or 4. But there should be at least two or three good seasons in this one.<br>
<br>
Can I get anyone to green light me on this?

      <![CDATA[Oh Joseph Butcher, where are you now? Y'know, I watched as much teevee as anybody in those days -a lot of it being Krofft material- and I don't remember this one at all.<br>
<br>
I like how Bigfoot jumps just like The Six Million Dollar Man.
