First they lie and lie about when (if) the show will be back and then they have the unmitigated GALL to ask us to actually pay?!?! to see the end of this POS show. Seriously, a little damage control PR might suggest that they should put it online for free.

Well, I already wasted my time and I'm not going to waste my money too. If anyone does, pop in and let us know how it all turned out. Maybe we could all chip in a quarter each and share the "cost".

Where did you hear it will cost money?

This link indicates it's free:

Fox announced today that beginning shortly, viewers will be able to watch the five remaining unaired episodes of its canceled My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss reality parody series for free via its Fox.com website.

My mistake - you are correct. They want $1.99 for the Playing it Straight show, not the other.

Thanks, I bookmarked the site. I'm not going to hold my breath though.

I can't believe they would drop another show like this.

I don't understand when the show is already shot and paid for why they can't just run it on the weekend or sometime instead of reruns. Run the last few eps on a Friday night. What else do they have on TV that night?

I agree, they could run it instead of infomercials.

FROM WHAT IVE HEARD THEY ARE GOING TO PUT THEM ON THE WEB FOR FREE. YESTERDAY I WAS IN OAKLAND AIRPORT AND I SAW THE BOSS. I ASKED HIM ABOUT THE EPISODES AND HE SAID SOON HE DIDNT SAY WHETHER THEY WERE FREE OR NOT I ALSO ASKED HIM IF IT WAS A MONKEY WHO WAS IN THE CHAIR AND HE SAID HE COULDNT SAY OR HE'D GET SUED. NICE GUY THOUGH

What are these jackasses waiting for? Why would they delay putting the episodes on the website?

A$$holes. The original annoucement said that the episodes would be on the net "within two weeks". That was three weeks ago. My guess is that it is just a low priority. I won't be surpirsed if I get a "page not found" response next time I click on the FOX/MBFOB link.

Five weeks and counting for those of you keeping score at home.

Let the record show that on 2/26/05, after waiting 6 weeks for FOX to post the few remaining episodes of this show on the Web (four weeks past their own 2 week promise), I have lost interest in this show. And would not watch the episodes even if they were posted tomorrow. And would not watch the show out of spite even if it was rebroadcast. And I promise to go out of my way to site to this transgression as evidence of FOX's dishonesty whenever and whereever possible.

I don't even remember who was on this show. The only thing I was remotely curious about was who the Boss was. But I guess we will never find out now.

"UPDATE"
Posted by PagongRatEater on 03-04-05 at 10:40 AM
Episode 6 has finally been posted. The others are still pending.

All I want to know, is who the mystery Boss was.

In the time it's taken them to put the episodes on-line, they could have just aired them on tv and been done with it. They could have put like 3 eps on last sunday, instead of Independence Day.

don't get me wrong I love that movie, but I've seen it so many times.

of course it would not hvae done well against the oscars, but who cares, at least the people that wanted to see it, could have.

or put them on other nights, when the regular programming is reruns.
