I can see why it didn’t get picked up. Sabrina the 40 year old cougar. I think this is my first introduction to Elvira so…bit awkward start.

See after having read some of the comments on the youtube video where this unaired pilot was posted on to im extremely livid that this was never picked up and made into a full length show because this is exactly something i would have loved especially with how much i absolutely adore the character of elvira and how miss cassandra peterson did such an excellent job of bringing the character to lug with her very dark but beautiful look and her very witty and just hilarious one liners she was always throwing out there because she deserved a whole list of films dedicated to elvira just being put into some of the most interesting and wackiest scenarios and i will never get over how much i was robbed of that and cbs count your fucking days for not green lighting this show all because of the amount of boob jokes it had in it like that was such a dumb excuse and i would definitely love for a revival film or even another series like this one in this decade because cassandra peterson still looks just as great today so like can the networks call her up and get my girl back onto the screen!
