It's not that far from what Joss said, although he put himself in the role that 20th is in, in that article, Narrator. I seem to recall saying Joss asked to know early, so that his people would have plenty of time to find a new gig.

Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

By the by, according to another comment on the site, the WB's remake of Dark Shadows did not get picked up because, Ancier says, the production just didn't "gel."

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm not sure this bothers me. Half the fun of DS is the cheesiness. And I suspect this remake (like the earlier one) would lack that.
OTOH, I still haven't forgiven SciFi for dropping DS from its schedule.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I'm going to have to concur. It sounds like WB is being a teenager/demented person saying "You *made* us do it! You *made* us!"
Hey! Numberslut 2k!

If wishes were horses we'd all be eating steak.
Read this story about how the WB wants to get a few older viewers watching this season... Odd, seeing that Joss said one of the reasons they got cancelled is that they were too "old" for the network. This just infuriates me to no end.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeah. Luckily, the one in the caption isn't too unsettling, and I'd heard the rumors about the one at the bottom already.

Well I didn't know the second one, but honestly I couldn't care less. It's not like it wasn't in-freakin-evitable.

See, my view is that the folks at theWB thought one vamp show was as good as another. Then "Dark Shadows" turned out to have sucked not gelled, and somebody had some 'xplaining to do.
