"Heil honey, I'm home!"--a twisted TV pilot

By Jack Brummet, SitCom Editor

[Thanks to Jeff Clinton for passing this along]

Hitler stars in a very strange and twisted TV pilot from 1990.  Sort of "holocaust meets the Honeymooners."  It's hardly a wonder this show did not get past its pilot episode.

"The setup is both simple and totally insane. Adolf Hitler stands in for Ralph Kramden, with his trusty wife Eva Braun going bam-zoom right to Berlin. His day-to-day consists of being Chancellor of Germany's National Socialist party and hiding his plans for global domination from the Allied forces. Across the hall, two Jewish tenants, Arny and Rosa Goldenstein, Hitler’s the nosy, overbearing neighbors, make the Führer’s life a living hell." (From Splitsider.com).
