1985 ABC. "Parts Unknown." Dennis Dugan paranormal investigation comedy. With partner Trevor Eve and Nina Foch. Guest stars this week are Teresa Ganzel, Avery Schreiber, Robert F. Lyons, Hermione Baddeley, Jeanette O' Connor, Carl Ciarfalio. Show created by Brian Grazer and Kenneth Johnson. Kind of a comedic precursor to The X-Files. This was the lowest rated network show for its one season, going up against The Cosby Show and Magnum, P.I.

The dead are rising from a local cemetery. Zombies? Buried alive? Our intrepid investigators are on the case. Benny (Dennis Dugan), a wisecracking investigative reporter, goes undercover as a dead man. Avery Schreiber is roasting him at his funeral. When Benny's partner Dr. Jonathan MacKensie (Trevor Eve) digs up the coffin, Benny's body has disappeared. He's been zombified. An unethical doctor and workers at a health club are somehow connected. 

The Youtube quality for this series is not very good but all the episodes are available. I watched all of them a couple of years ago. It has a small and enthusiastic following. Good show. This is another one that I go back and watch an episode every now and then.
