After I heard that Nobody's Watching, the failed pilot that was leaked to YouTube and became very popular, was picked up by NBC, I got a sinking feeling that we were going to start hearing about other pilots somehow making their way to the web.

Well, I didn't have to wait long. This article reports on the appearance of the pilot for a comedy called The Adventures of Big Handsome Guy and His Little Friend, on smaller video sites (I followed the links in the article and found a copy on Vidking.com; here's part one and part two). The pilot, based on a little-seen movie about two friends with very different viewpoints on life, was turned down by Fox for their fall lineup, but they still have an option to pick it up by December. The network is trying to get copies of the pilot removed from these sites, but is having a tough time. Hm. Think the creators would jeopardize their deal with Fox by leaking it? Stranger things have happened.
