Does anyone remember hearing about the Scott Baio sitcom Rewind which never saw the light of day. It was about two guys living in the 70s. It actually made FOX's fall sked but was cancelled before a single episode ever aired. I don't get Trio, but they should consider airing those episodes since they specialize in short-lived, shows.

Network brass (not to mention, all-important advertisers) just didn't like Rewind and didn't think it could pin its Thursday night hopes on the show. The comedy, about two marketing executives (Baio and Mystro Clark) who often find themselves spacing out to their own personal 1970s flashbacks, was being asked to go up against NBC powerhouse Friends to help launch an all-new lineup for Fox, including the comedy Between Brothers and the teen help-center drama 413 Hope Street.

I don't get Trio either, actually I've never heard of it, but it would be interesting to to see Rewind. Two marketing executives 'spacing out'?

That's network executives for you, always so fickle.
