It's sanctioned by AyaK and everything.

The first week is complete, with the second and third claimed. The rest of the series is currently up for grabs.

According to TV Tome, the series will run twelve episodes. However, at that rate, firing one per week, we'd run out of contestants. Don't be surprised if someone gets brought back or there's a non-elimination leg. (By tradition, Bebo gets first claim to that episode.) But as with other series (including TAR), you also shouldn't don't be surprised if one or more of the end slots gets cut off -- or if FOX cancels this in midrun, or switches it to another day, or pre-empts it for three weeks to run extra episodes of The OC, or if TV Tome is just plain wrong. For now, we'll go with twelve slots (three filled) and knock on wood occasionally.

If we don't get enough people to fill all twelve slots, a randomly-chosen few will be asked to take extras. If any episodes are cut from the run, the duplicate assignments will be eliminated first: we'll try to make sure everyone gets at least one, to the limit of the series and the number of applicants. However, FOX and the BluePeeps can override me at any time. Especially the BluePeeps.

So. One down, two claimed, nine to go. Who wants in?

I can't believe that no one wants to summarize this show. Say it ain't so.

The silence has been deafening.

I guess everybody wants to do Survivor, or Amazing Race.

They need to get their butt over here and cut some teeth on a real crapfest. It's a good proving ground, and good exercise.

I would do one, but I don't get cable or Fox. I am never sure if I can get a friend to tape it either. If you are in dire need of a writer, I can see what I can do about getting it taped.

I'm willing to attempt, but i have to rely on my wife remembering to tape it for me as i work Sunday nights. So far so good, but one forget on the right night, and i miss out . I think this show is hilarious so far, with a few exceptions, such as the play in front of the kids last episode that kinda drug.

In that case, how about taking Week Five, so you'll have an extra seven days to leave notes all over the house and completely annoy your spouse?

Presuming there is a Week Five.

Sounds good! Notes galore on their way . Here's hoping the show's still hangin' in there.

I'll do the Ep. 4 summary, if no one else wants it.

You -- are victim #6. The December 12th episode is yours, presuming the series manages to stay on the air that long.

And remember: by starting your summarizing career, you become eligible for The Big Three! You won't necessarily get an episode, but you can enter the inevitable random draw with everyone else, and you might get lucky! This is sort of like buying a lottery ticket if a rite of torturous passage was involved beforehand, but take what you can get!

So with the week off, do we all get pushed back a week, or am i still on for this Sunday (assumming it airs)? Just curious.

Everyone gets pushed back a week. AyaK's got #4: whenever it airs, it remains #4. You get an extra week of planting Post-It notes.

This is starting to feel depressingly familiar. Anyone remember that popular dance known as The Forever Eden Shuffle?

Alright, I'll take one.

You are Team #7. This is a non-elimination episode, so you will receive no money to start the next leg with.

Looks like this:

#4: AyaK December 5th (in progress)
#5: GizmoBer December 12th
#6: TheKing December 19th
#7: Ssshaw December 26nd
#8: AliciaBBrown January 2nd
#9: Eric Barmack January 9th
#10: {Open} January 16th
#11: {Open} January 23rd
#12: {Open} January 30th

This is still assuming twelve episodes, since no one's said anything different yet. I don't think we'll see a full dozen in the run, but we might get through seven without the series being canceled: only have it suspended for one week was semi-promising. A lot depends on the ratings for last night, though.

Please note that as per next week's previews, GizmoBer has snagged the coveted paintball episode. All negotiations to get it away from him should be conducted with him. Not me. Him. Got that, TJ?

LOL!

I have to concede the paintball episode.

I'm not about to strong arm one of the few people actually willing to write a summary.

MBFOB vs. Survivor finale... which to tape? hmmm.

I would be willing to take episode #8 on 1/2 if it's not already spoken for.

I'm new here, but I have a book coming out that's reality-TV themed, and I'd be happy to write one of the later episode summaries. Let me know -- I'll know doubt analyze this show pointlessly anyway.

You're on #9, then. Same warning as for Alicia: if it exists, it's yours. If it doesn't exist, your potential audience may actually improve.
"RE: Official summary sign-up thread for My Big, Fat, Obnoxious Boss."
Posted by Estee on 12-09-04 at 06:42 AM
It's yours. Just be warned: we are now entering the territory where the show may cease to exist -- either through cancelation or completing the run. Episodes around this level are more of an educated guess than anything else.

But doing a summary here still lets you apply for the Big Three later on, so take the chance! If it doesn't work out, you actually get an hour of your life back for other activities!

"On hiatus until January 16"
Posted by SurvivorBlows on 12-28-04 at 10:45 PM

FYI that according to Fox, Boss is on hiatus until January 16, at which time Episode 6 will finally air -- so it looks like we'll need to re-do the remaining schedule
"RE: On hiatus until January 16"

Oh no, you ain't taking Ep. 6 away from me! I've been waiting three weeks to write that puppy and I'm not giving it up now.

According to RealityTVWorld, the show is only being "streamed" on Fox.com. Does this mean we'll still do episode summaries? Let me know.
