(!) IN AN UNPRECEDENTED MARKETING PUSH, FOX WILL DEBUT NEW COMEDY SERIES ?THE WINNER? ACROSS MULTIPLE PLATFORMS PRIOR TO BROADCAST PREMIERE (http://www.thefutoncritic.com/devwatch.aspx?id=winner)
Cross-divisional initiative spans internet streaming, download-on-demand, in-flight entertainment, I-Tunes and DVD.
Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Glenn+The+Winner) has a *ton* of clips, and by the looks of things it looks pretty damn promising (Seth McFarlane is one of the producers!) -- like Rob's fantastic Daily Show persona, without the fake gravitas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitas#Examples) ;)
DESCRIPTION: (from FOX's official web site (http://www.fox.com/winner/))
The summer of 1994 was a magical one ? O.J. Simpson was on the run, Snoop Dogg was climbing the charts, Olympic hopeful Nancy Kerrigan was clubbed on the knee and 32-year-old GLEN ABBOTT (Rob Corddry) was finally on his way to becoming a man. Back in 1994, when the series begins, Glen is still living with his parents when the only girl he?d ever kissed, ALISON MILLER (Erinn Hayes), returns to town with her 13-year-old son JOSH (Keir Gilchrist). The recently divorced Alison inspires Glen to become a ?grown-up? and win her heart. There may be hope for late-bloomers everywhere as Glen moves through his formative years a mere 20 years later than most. But, hey, some people?s ?Wonder Years? just happen a little later. Luckily, Glen doesn?t have to go through this awkward period alone. He becomes best friends with Josh ? a fellow hypochondriac and the only person he can truly relate to ? and receives parental advice from his enabling mother IRENE (Linda Hart) and quasi-rage-aholic dad RON (Lenny Clark). As narrated by present-day Glen, this story proves that an unlikely underdog can eventually transform from fear-riddled underachiever to the richest man in Buffalo.
