NBC premieres the two-hour TV movie Exo-Man, starring David Ackroyd (AfterM*A*S*H, A Peaceable Kingdom), Anne Schedeen (ALF), and Harry Morgan (M*A*S*H). The movie is intended to serve as a pilot for a potential series, but despite decent ratings in its time slot, Exo-Man does not get a series pickup from NBC.
