Niet-uitgezonden afleveringen van afgevoerde series worden in de VS
door grote zenders vaak gedumpt op kleinere kanalen (NBC bvb. dumpt op
USA), of worden helemaal niet getoond. FOX gaat nu zelfs nog verder:
niet-uitgezonden afleveringen zijn (enkel) via hun website te zien.

Het gaat hier wel om reality-series...

FOX.COM TO HOST FINAL EPISODES OF "MY BIG FAT OBNOXIOUS BOSS" AND
"PLAYING IT STRAIGHT"
Viewers can get the closure they've been waiting for, when the final
five unaired episodes of MY BIG FAT OBNOXIOUS BOSS and all eight
episodes of PLAYING IT STRAIGHT are made available online at
www.FOX.com/bigfat/ and www.FOX.com/playingitstraight/ . PLAYING IT
STRAIGHT will be offered as a pay-per-view with all the episodes
accessible for viewers beginning Monday, Jan. 17. The boardroom
shenanigans and deal-breaking joke from MY BIG FAT OBNOXIOUS BOSS will
be freely available and will follow shortly after.
The final episodes of MY BIG FAT OBNOXIOUS BOSS will have the seven
business-savvy finalists enduring more absurd pranks and competing in
silly sales schemes for what they think is the job of a lifetime at
billion-dollar company IOCOR. Contestants are unaware that the
demeaning and pompous boss, "Mr. N. Paul Todd" (real-life actor
William August), is a fraud, that IOCOR does not exist, and there is
no open position; the only real reward is a $250,000 cash prize. In
the remaining five episodes, challenges include creating art from hot
garbage and an ad campaign for cosmetic surgery for the deceased. All
the while, "Mr. Todd" provokes participants when he exposes more
absurdities with the reintroduction of his "family" as well as his
senseless boardroom rationale.
In a final surprise, the fate of these seven career driven contestants
is being decided by a mystery boss, promising to be one of the show's
most embarrassing moments.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, things aren't exactly as they appear
when FOX puts a young single female college student's "dar" to the
test on PLAYING IT STRAIGHT. Jackie has to determine which of her
suitors are straight and which guys are . If she chooses a straight
man, the couple will be able to split a million dollars. However, if a
guy fools his way to the finish line, he leaves $1 million richer.
With serious cash up for grabs, first impressions have never been more
important.
Jackie's suitors are 14 men – some looking for love, some on a quest
for money, and all trying to guess who is PLAYING IT STRAIGHT. These
stallions vie for Jackie's affections by participating in group
activities and one-on-one dates that will simultaneously tempt her
heart and test her "dar."
Some will come out with nothing, some will come out of the closet, but
only one will come out victorious. As for Jackie, she will either
leave with love, money or her "dar" in need of serious repair.
