[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.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Happy Birthday, Tim! Hope your birthday present is a network completely onboard and behind your new project!

Tim is moving to ABC?

Many happy returns of the day, Tim. Now, back to the grindstone, and keep writing. We're waiting!

What? Like ABC doesn't have a long and illustrious history of cancelling good shows?

No, but they have good shows now, that they haven't cancelled yet. And it's not Fox or the WB.

ETA: and I don't have Showtime or HBO, so those aren't good options, IMHO.

Because they get good ratings. If FF had Lost's numbers, it'd still be on the air.

Hey. New board.

I heard about this show called Karen Sisco, that was supposed to be this excellent, smart, well-cast drama... whatever happened to that show? (moral: all networks are evil.)

Anyway, Happy Birthday Tim!

Art Crawl!!!

Yeah, but it didn't have the numbers -- or what Kristen said.

A Happy, and hopefully gruesome, Birthday to you, Tim! Kill all your darlings for us, please.

What is even happening?

Happy Birthday, Tim. Thank you for writing for the Yankees and Cardinals this year, rather than the Red Sox.

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

He's got you fooled, Cindy. He is writing for the Red Sox. They have received their occasional happy and are all set to be squashed under the boot of the writer.
