I stumbled across this sitcom pilot that was never broadcast. It's not that great but it's kinda interesting. It stars Jason Bateman, Nikki Cox (from Las Vegas and The Norm Show), Greg Grunberg (from Heroes and Alias), and I think Kyle Gass (from Tenacious D). Just think if it had been a success, Bateman might not have been in Arrested Development.

Heh, I remember "It's Your Move." It had the guy who played Steve on "Married With Children" and he was trying to get with Jason Bateman's mom but Jason hated him. They'd play evil tricks on each other. Bateman sounded like a little girl. That's about all I remember though.
 
The two part episode Dregs of Humanity was both the apex and nadir of broadcast television as we know it.

I contend the history of the universe can be divided into two parts with these broadcasts providing the absolute middle.
