i was looking at thomas lennon’s filmography on imdb, and i came across a failed pilot for a tv show called “richard lovely” starring thomas lennon and wendie malick, and it was to be on fox. on imdb, it states that it was released in 2019. i really have no clue where you could even find this pilot, i assume it was filmed, as there’s a whole cast on imdb. the show would have been about richard lovely, who is a best-selling children’s book author who tries to get over his hatred of kids. i really want this to be somewhat found as it seemed like it would have been pretty good.
alright, i looked more into it, and i found an almost 2 minute clip of the pilot from one of the child actor’s imdb pages, plus i found a few behind-the-scenes photos. i feel like if anyone has the whole pilot, it would have to be either the creator, the writer, or the child actor (seeing as they had a clip).
edit: i read that this was a put-pilot, which meant that it was guaranteed to be turned into a full-length show, however as you can tell, that never happened. it aired as a tv special on fox, but i have no clue what month or what time or even how many times it aired.
boosting this because im still searching for it. haven't really come across any huge leads, but i have ideas on how to find it. i found the director's website and on it he talked more about richard lovely, however it wasnt anything we didnt know. i could message him through his agency, however i dont want to bother him. i dont think anyone recorded anything off of their tv's in 2019 that wouldnt be deleted after a few months.
www.alexhardcastle.net/#pilot <- his website, all the way at the bottom of the pilot section is richard lovely, where we see the only promotional picture we have.
www.imdb.com/video/vi2372845849/ <- the only footage of the pilot we have online, seems to have an aol email address attached to it.
this pilot probably aired around march-may 2019, but i dont know how many times it did. i think our best bet would either be to contact his agency or contact the email in the demo reel video i linked.

looked more into when it would have aired, and i believe it aired in may 2019, or at the very least, late april. may 9 2019 was when the last updates about the pilot happened, so i’m guessing it aired the day before (may 8) because it was a wednesday, and to my knowledge wednesday nights on fox are always big. or it could have aired on a thursday, i don’t know. but seeing as the latest casting change they made was replacing jason alexander with andrew rannells in the middle of april, the pilot probably aired after. i’ve been trying to look up if you can access tv schedules from the past so i could narrow down when it aired.
alright, i went further down the rabbit hole and i found an entire script online, now i would just need the actual pilot. i found out the pilot was half an hour.
