Very excited about this. Rachel's not bad to look at, either.
Wheeeee!
Mal: Zoe, why do I have a wife? Jayne: You got a wife? All I got is that dumbass stick sounds like its raining. How come you got a wife?

[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.

Liked 21 Jump Street. Silence of the Lambs scares me to no end, and I don't really like being scared, but:
Tim gutted it. Kept Rachel, another actor, and the title, and changed the entire premise of the show.
Damn. I love me some Tim. For Tim, I would consent to being scared well and often. If only it were on some network, not Fox, all would be good. I suppose that might make it too easy.
Perhaps it won't be too scary?

How do the creators feel about that?

Thrilled to have Tim on board? I hope...

I mean, I'm sure they're happy their show's getting to air...but it doesn't sound like it's their show anymore. Granted, Tim's show sounds better. I'm just saying.

An ok show that dies before airing or absolutely wonderful show with Tim that airs. I would go with the latter. Sure, it will likely die a few episodes later, but at least it airs. That has to be a step up.
Bitter, me? Naah. If it's possible to be an embittered optimist, that's me when it comes to Tim or Joss TV.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Between the two of them, don't they have like, 300 episodes of television aired? Angel, Firefly, Buffy, XFiles, Wonderfalls, Lois and Clark, Strange World?

And not all of them were cancelled early, so I guess I shouldn't be so upset. Perhaps it's because it's Sunday and I'm still at work, although heading home finally.

I doubt they're happy. It's not their script or concept and I'm not sure their names will be attached at all to the finished product. I mean, Tim didn't even keep the names of the characters the same.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
You mean Fox didn't like anything about the show except a couple of the actors, and they went ahead and green-lighted it anyway?
Hey, they have to have something to cancel after airing it on Fridays. These three and four week seasons have to be eating through a lot of the shows in the development pipeline.
