Seventeen Seventy Five is a 1992 pilot episode for a CBS situation comedy.

The series was not picked up by CBS, but was broadcast as a special presentation once September 5, 1992.[1][2][3]
A similar idea for a situation comedy was mentioned by Andrew Alexander in a commentary track for SCTV.[citation needed]
