[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
S7--and I'll keep this quick as it's off topic, except for that mysterious unaired episode Tim wrote that the papers always reference--holds up a little better on rewatch, and in rapid succession. A lot of the tension was murdered by long waits between episodes.
waltzes into thread
I watched Strictly Ballroom tonight.
It was sooo much fun!
I am announcing this here because it was in this thread that I first heard it was worth watching. Thanks!
heads to bed, doing the rhumba
Who was that rhumbaing woman?!?!
I don't know, but she sure cleaned up this town.
For those of you who thumb your nose at international copyright law Wonderfalls 1/11 and Dead Like Me 2/1 are on SN.
Article on TV series released on DVD - several Wonderfalls mentions, along with Freaks and Geeks and Family Guy. Sounds like there's a big market for quality TV shows that didn't make it on the networks.
Cranberry, I hope you find a way to make it to San Diego. Good luck! C'mon cyber-saver!!
I'm going! I got my ticket last night, so now it's for sure. Still have to find a place to stay... but I'm going. I'm really excited about that Sunday at comic-con.

If only that could translate into a big market for quality TV shows actually airing ON the networks...
That's great, Cran. Have a fabulous time. And then tell us all about it!!!

I think that's the problem with the current system. The audience is evidently there (1 million copies of Freaks and Geeks on DVD), and they're willing to pay to see quality TV, but the only way networks get paid is by getting huge ratings so they can sell commercial time for big bucks. The smart, quirky stuff I like doesn't seem to draw big enough to survive against the American Idols and such. As long as it's ad-based, I don't hold out much hope. I'd have gladly paid to see Wonderfalls, and if everything goes according to plan, I guess I will in December, just doesn't get me a second season.
I just signed up for satellite so I can get Showtime and watch the new season of Dead Like Me.
