I have not been able to find it anywhere. Have any non-TV industry people even seen it?<br> <br> The pilot was directed by Christopher Guest... and man, the cast. I'm upset that it wasn't picked up and I haven't even seen it yet.<br> <br> Hive mind, whatcha got? post:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.83750 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 16:58:38 -0800 defenestration mitchelllhurwitz christopherguest tv pilot video thethickofit remake http://ask.metafilter.com/83750/Can-I-get-my-hands-on-the-pilot-for-the-US-version-of-The-Thick-of-It#1240102 I've wondered the exact same thing about the US remake of 'The IT Crowd.' My guess is you'd need some kind of connection to someone in the industry to get your hands on any of these pilots that aren't picked up. <i>Someone</i> here has to have some kind of connection, though! comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.83750-1240102 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 22:09:19 -0800 Mael Oui http://ask.metafilter.com/83750/Can-I-get-my-hands-on-the-pilot-for-the-US-version-of-The-Thick-of-It#1240129 The UK version of this show is so good, I can't help but think the US version would disappoint. I'd love to see the attempt though. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.83750-1240129 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 23:08:43 -0800 the christopher hundreds
