    It was just a Pilot. I don’t think it ever aired. I saw it on the gray.

    A lot of it got leaked. There was screaming early on about how they screwed
    up the costume and they actually went in and corrected it.

    I never saw the pilot episode. I do remember talk about the show but
    all I can recall was some talk about her outfit.


    That’s pretty much all that the talk amounted to.

    No wonder (heh) I didn't remember. I just noticed I was replying to an
    article from 2011 that appeared on my reader! Hmm, there are a bunch
