So, I feel your pain. Shows being hacked into demographic-friendly, short attention span snippets of what they're actually supposed to be is par for the course for these channels. I *knew* that there must've been more to the show than what was aired, because many of the participants got little to zero airtime. Plus, your stuff in the pilot *was* definitely the funniest, and I assumed there had to be chunks of the Rounds on the cutting room floor. The finished product is 20 minutes of mostly nothing, whittled down from what could likely be a funnier series. As an employee, I'm saddened that they operate this way creatively. And as a viewer, I'm disgusted that this supposedly "irreverant" network more often than not plays it safe. There are entire series planned out (some that actually sound interesting) and promos for them are aired, and then they're cancelled before they see the light of day. Don't wanna upset the status quo too much. If you were Janet Jackson and you showed your boobie, your boobie'd have its own show by now.
Sorry to hijack here, but I just wanted to mention that I had seen the show as it aired, and say that it's too bad it wasn't what it could've been. If I was in the production dept, I'd try to score the raw tapes of the show or something, to liberate the unseen gold that surely awaits on those raw reels of tape, now sadly destined to become forgotten dust.
