...stories, which are becoming more widespread than ever. The season finale of ABC's eminently forgettable Two Guys and a Girl allowed viewers to vote online among four possible endings. (I searched in vain for the options to cancel the series, burn all videotapes or watch Disney honcho Michael Eisner commit ritual suicide in shame for having aired it.) Meanwhile, the creator of Dharma and Greg is developing a sitcom for Fox called Nathan's Choice, in which the hero faces a dilemma halfway through the show, the audience votes on his "choice" online and the second half...
