Yup. Written by Culp. Rejected by the network. Do you have this script? The only thing I've ever seen written about this, was that it was discussed, but never went past the talking stage. If fact Culp wasn't even mentioned. |

Culp discussed it in an interview I read back when GAH was still in production (probably in Starlog magazine, but could be something else). How far it actually progressed, script-wise, I don't know. I've never seen or heard of a copy of the unfilmed script or treatment floating around out there.

that would have been a cool story,there could have been a Maxwell like RED and the Russian in the suit could have cared about the whole World not just The USSR,but would still fight Ralph,and he knew how to use the suit,man I need to slow down.TEXT

I've never seen or heard of a copy of the unfilmed script or treatment floating around out there. Not in the Starlog interview. I just pulled the 2 issue Culp interview out. He mentions the other scripts, but the subject of The Greatest Russian Hero never comes up. I'll have to go back and pull out part one of the Juanita Bartlett interview. I believe in it she states something in the effect of: " having Bill Cosby guest star, and showing The Greatest Russian Hero have certainly been discussed, but hasn't went any farther...etc." I've read many articles on the show, and the Starlog issue is the only one that ever mentioned that. So if it's out there, I missed it. Plus considering all the other unfilmed scripts that have appeared, I'd say if one existed it would have popped up too. I think it was probably something talked about within the production staff, but never went past that stage. |

Someone needs to resurrect this idea and get Mikhail Baryshnikov to play the lead - he'd be great (although maybe he's too old now). Anyone else see White Nights with him and Gregory Hines? Good stuff...

Never saw that movie, but I agree that it was a great concept for an episode.
