Item: The Exit List
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: I'm NOT actually reporting that this is incorrect content. This is just a note (I hope this is an appropriate thing to do) that this TV entry should NOT be removed because this failed pilot WAS released recently to the general public. It was leaked on YouTube.
Contribution bible:
Pilots that were never picked up to series and were subsequently released to the general public should be added to the TV section with the TV Show Status set to "Pilot". This includes pilots that are leaked on the web, are released digitally, air on television in foreign countries and are released as a special feature on a DVD.
Additionally, I believe the pilot was "ordered to series" based on this, and this.
Contribution bible:
While it might be tempting to add all the new and exciting pilots being filmed during pilot season, it's better to wait until a pilot is—at the very least—ordered to series to add it to the database.

Second, maybe the status should be locked to Pilot because:
1) There is at least one other series with the exact same name (that's not a pilot).
2) Lol, I'm having a mental block... I had another reason... It appears IMDB has information from this pilot (see Full Cast & Crew section has Mike Greenberg as one of the hosts, and see Company Credits section credits ABC as one of the distributers), I presume incorrectly, added to an entry for a series of the same name. Or maybe it isn't incorrect, and that IMDB has different rules for TV content (to TMBD). Regardless, this might confuse users to think this entry is supposed to be for a series and not a Pilot (and change the status from Pilot to Ended). (Maybe lock the imdb external link field too (leave the field blank)?
