CBS's innertube.com Revives Failed Pilot; NBC.com Has 'Office' Producer's Cut Episode, NBC Shortens Mid-Season Sitcom Episode Order

Starting today, the never-before-seen sitcom/reality hybrid, The Papdits, produced for CBS during the 2006 development season, will stream for free on CBS's broadband channel innertube (www.cbs.com/innertube). The show is a docu-comedy about a family from Kashmir and their interactions with real Americans as they travel through the U.S. looking for the perfect community in which to settle and make their fortune.
CBS passed on The Papdits last May and Fox gave a six-episode commitment back in November 2004, but then was scrapped, can FINALLY be seen online on innertube!

NBC's Emmy-winning comedy The Office (Thursdays, 8:30 9:00pm ET/PT) will offer fans a first-ever, web-exclusive "producer's cut" on November 9. The episode will include additional scenes and extra footage not shown in the broadcast version. Viewers can log onto NBC.com at 9:00pm (PT) on November 9 to see the web-exclusive event.
In the pivotal November 9 episode, Jan (Melora Hardin) tells Michael (Steve Carell) that the Scranton Branch will be shutting down and Michael strives to keep his staff's spirits up. Meanwhile, everyone privately begins to envision how their lives will change in the aftermath.
Meanwhile NBC has announced it has trimmed the episode order for the upcoming mid-season single camera sitcom The Singles Table from 13 to 6. The sitcom stars John Cho and Alicia Silverstone and is about a group of single people who meet at a wedding reception. It's one of two comedies (both single camera) NBC has on tap for mid-season, along with the Andy Richter's Andy Barker, P.I.
