1775 (TV pilot)

Seventeen Seventy Five is a 1992 pilot episode for a CBS situation comedy. Set in colonial Philadelphia during the run-up to the American Revolution, the series was to follow the exploits of innkeeper Jeremy Proctor and his family. The series was not picked up by CBS, but was broadcast as a special presentation once September 5, 1992.

A similar idea for a situation comedy was mentioned by Andrew Alexander in a commentary track for SCTV.
