Throwaways

Throwaways are quickie ideas that might be of interest to others. Detailed fully in 6 Questions (Who, What, When, Where, Why, How, and Else) with no more than 2 Sentence Answers.

Who? Any Major Network, scripted TV show in primetime.
What? A web-exclusive episode, of the same quality and length as the regular show.
When? To be made available online during an off week- like when the Oscars cuts into the regularly scheduled broadcast.
Where? Hulu, or wherever the hell else the parent company wants to make it available.
Why? FOX has a lot of good shows- like HOUSE- and too many off weeks where they're showing stupid crap no one cares about: like the World Series (no, not the poker one).
How? Reduce costs around set, and from the special effects department/budget; and film it a little at a time during filming for other episodes. Same quality and length; but it can be assumed only fans are watching it, so it might delve further into the characters for no reason other than to explore them.
Else? The Internet is gonna steal your broadcast audience anyway; but this will train them to go to the site YOU, the creators and controllers, choose. It's like a gift to fans from the entire cast and crew; and should help foster loyalty- plus it's "interactive" because it's online where they can post comments.
