[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.
Kristin from E!Online is still annoying me. From her August 2nd chat transcript:
From ikyro: Is there any news on if the Wonderfalls DVD is coming out for sure?
There's still nothing official. Should we storm Fox?
We've known since late May that DVDs are a go, and I think public acknowledgement from the producers (at the screenings in LA and San Diego) makes it pretty damn official. Is it too much to ask that someone whose job is to know all about TV actually provides accurate information?
Since Fox Home Entertainment hasn't released any PR, that makes it technically unofficial. It's not like she's lying.
No, I know she's not lying... but the producers have been talking about the DVDs since late May; the set has been mentioned on reputable sites and at screenings. She could at least mention it looks like they're being made.
Eh, I'm probably just too easily annoyed -- I'm still peeved that she never acknowledged SaveWonderfalls.com.
I just want confirmation that it is December rather than January (as mentioned in EW) that the dvds are coming out.

You should write and tell her! I think she's pretty responsive to email and, as a fan of the show, would be happy to share the news.
I've actually written her three (I believe) e-mails about Wonderfalls and SaveWonderfalls since she started bemoaning the cancellation in her column/chat (and some other fans wrote her about the site, too), but she didn't respond or mention anything about a fan campaign on E!Online, even when fans asked in her chat how they could help (she just gave them an address for FOX and for the WB so they could complain/ask Levin to take the show). I dunno.
Sumi, I just asked Bryan about the EW thing, and he says "I think they misprinted, but that was a nice little article." He hasn't heard anything about a change from the December 7 date.
Thanks Cranberry!
I mean, it's only a month later -- but from here it feels like forever.
Who is moving to Cabo with me?
Me! We're having such warm weather this year, I almost feel like I'm there already, except, alas, no Wonderfalls or Firefly on Fox (We do have a fair amount of Angel and Buffy reruns though.)

I had exactly the same reaction. See how quickly I went from "Yay, DVDs!" to "Whaddayemean January?" Then I went back to "Yay, DVDs!" for fear of spoiling the good karma. Or something like that.
Anyone remember getting excited about the fall TV lineup instead of the next great DVD release? How far they have fallen.
