Heat Vision and Jack
BY BERT EHRMANN

"Heat Vision and Jack" is the best television series you never saw (though if you have a fast Internet connection you can download the episode.) The pilot for the series was commissioned back in 1999 and centers around Jack Austin. An astronaut "exposed to inappropriate levels of solar energy." To put it simply, "sunlight makes him the world's smartest man" giving Jack the catch phrase "I know everything." He travels the world with "Heat Vision", a motorcycle with "the mind of Jack's unemployed roommate."

Pure genius.

The pilot episode is too good to be true. "The Six Million Dollar Man" meets "Knight Rider" with all the cheese from each included into "Heat Vision and Jack." What amazes me is that this series stars both current superstars Jack Black and Owen Wilson. Fox didn't know what a gem of a series it had. To put it simply, "Heat Vision and Jack" was destined for greatness but died of crib death before it could take it's first step. 4/22/02
