For those who've never heard of it:
The entire pilot is available on YouTube:

I watched it for the first time the other day. I thought it had a lot of promise, some excellent stuff by Adam West that funnily enough is very similar to his later work on as Mayor Adam West on Family Guy. Of course, had it been picked up television might have been very different since Conan may never have gone on to work at The Simpsons or become the host of Late Night after David Letterman's departure to CBS.
Wikipedia wrote:Lookwell was a television pilot written and produced by Conan O'Brien and Robert Smigel. It starred Adam West as a washed-up TV action hero—who at the peak of his career was ceremoniously deputized by local law enforcement—who falsely believes he can solve crimes in real life. The pilot was broadcast on NBC in July 1991 but was not picked up as a series.
