The story of ABC's "Six Degrees" could really be a metaphor for this whole sorry TV season. The show had the right pedigree ("Lost" creator J.J. Abrams) and the right time slot (right after "Grey's Anatomy"), yet it never gained traction with viewers.

So it's Sunday morning, and you're easing into the day by checking out the latest posts here on BuzzSugar. Maybe you're even sipping coffee while wearing a cozy bathrobe. But wouldn't you feel cooler if you had a Dunder Mifflin bathrobe like the one "The Office" crew got from corporate for Christmas last year?

Fans of "The Black Donnellys," it's time to shake off that cancellation-induced coma and head over to NBC.com. The first two unaired episodes have made their way to NBC's video player, where other two filmed episodes should also wind up eventually.
I'm glad that "Donnellys" at least has a venue online to "broadcast" the rest of its episodes; plot lines can get tied up and fans don't have to hope for a DVD set to see what happens.

Online-only series seem to be all the rage for TV networks these days, and ABC is the latest to jump into the ring with "Voicemail." The series consists of short episodes — most just a minute long — based on messages left for Mike, a twentysomething living your standard slacker-dude life. It's sort of a live-action version of Amy's Answering Machine, inspired by a decade of voicemails saved by creator Michael Wilde.

Writer-producer Steven Bochco is best known for his gritty TV dramas, including "Hill Street Blues," "LA Law," and "NYPD Blue." But now he's trying his hand at something warmer and fuzzier by producing a series of confessional-style videos for Metacafe.
In this Los Angeles Times story about the project, Bochco likens himself to a camp counselor sitting around the fire listening to his 20-something "campers" tell stories about their worst dates, most embarrassing moments, and first sexual experiences.

If you missed out on the start of "Heroes" when it premiered in the fall, you don't have to wait for the DVDs. NBC has put all 18 episodes of the show online for a limited time. Granted, that's a lot of catching up to do if you're starting from scratch, but the show is off the air until April 23, so at least there's time.

The new Andy Richter comedy, "Andy Barker, P.I." starts its five-episode run on NBC this Thursday. But there's actually a sixth episode of the show that guest-stars one of my favorite funny ladies, Amy Sedaris.

NBC recently promised to put episodes of its new spring shows online early, and they've now made good on the offer by posting the full pilot of "Raines." The Jeff Goldblum show about a detective who channels the dead victims of the crimes he investigates officially premieres on March 15, right after the debut of "Andy Barker, P.I.," another show you can watch online right now.
I saw a short preview of "Raines" a while back, and I wasn't sure what to make of it.

Now, I've heard of deleted scenes — but a whole deleted episode? That's what NBC has done with "The Black Donnellys." Apparently this episode, called "God is a Comedian," was "too shocking" for network TV, so NBC put it online instead.

Consider my mind officially blown. This site called The Christmas Spot, has 101 Christmas videos you can watch online — from It's a Wonderful Life to the Festivus episode of "Seinfeld."
In addition to the full-length movies and TV specials, there's also a huge selection of Christmas music videos (including Wham's "Last Christmas" and David Bowie and Bing Crosby doing "Little Drummer Boy"), commercials (remember the bell-ringing Hershey's Kisses?), and miscellaneous holiday cheer (the Ali G Christmas Message).
