Has anyone seen "Heat Vision and Jack"? Its a pilot for a series that was never made. Someone recommended it to me, so I downloaded it, and its brilliant.

Its basically a spoof of all the 80's shows like Knight Rider, 6 Million Dollar Man etc. It stars Jack Black as astronaut Jack Austin. Jack was exposed to an "inappropriate" amount of solar radiation. Now, when ever the sun is up, he's three times smarter than the worlds smartest man.

His rides around on Heat Vision, a talking motorbike (played by Owen Wilson), who used to be his flatmate, but somehow got merged with his motorbike. He's now on the run from NASA, who have sent Ron Silver, a bounty hunter after him. Thats not Ron Silver playing a bounty hunter, thats Ron Silver playing himself, Ron Silver the actor, who also happens to be a bounty hunter ("Acting is one of my more pleasant diversions").

Its all produced by Ben Stiller, and its really funny. I can't believe they didn't bother making a series.
