Warning: Spoilers
I remember this thing, mainly for Mike Conners in a comedic role. It was basically striving for what Richard Benjamin had previously done with Quark, but this one was to look more on a stage or before an audience or something, not so much on a set. The three standouts were Conners in the lead, Frey was an alien who in one sequence drops his pants and he is invisible underneath.

Cromwell may have been about the most striking. He was a scientist, as my brother described him, he's the Carl Sagan of the show.

The episode's ending had everyone leaving, but Cromwell says he is staying, whatever the predicament was, to encounter whatever the new situation was that was causing everyone else to leave. He wanted to witness the circumstances. This reminded me of when sidekicks or companions would depart from Doctor Who.

Would the show have been any good? I think so, especially if it took that approach as Cromwell did in the pilot.

As it is, I think even the pilot would be fun to see again. What a loss.
