Today's edition of the Countdown to Halloween is the unsold pilot for the CBS sitcom The Elvira Show.
Hot on the heels of the success of the movie Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, a sitcom was conceived for CBS starring Cassandra Peterson as her wisecracking alter ego and Who's The Boss's Katherine Helmond as her Aunt Minvera. CBS eventually passed on the series, but at least we have this pilot to enjoy. And being an Elvira project, it goes without saying that this is not for the kids.
Thanks!

I cannot imagine them ever passing on such and iconic mistress of the dark. What were they thinking?

Thanks Michelle! I guess she was ahead of her time as far as broadcast TV goes. :)
I still need to watch this one been on my watch list for a few years.
