Hey, I like the dvr enabling.
The thing is, psychotic PR people notwithstanding, I keep hearing about Veronica Mars, for example, and a couple other shows I might be interested in.
I'm not even keeping up with the OC. Broadcast TV has become such a peripatetic wasteland the last few years that even the few things I would watch, I just forget to turn on the TV. Most evening, I'm watching DVDs or reading or something similar.
So, if I'm going to keep up with anything, it's going to require some extra measures.
Which, for Tim's new show, I'm feeling inclined to take.
Enabling away!
Any clues to the new name yet?
There's a few choices. I have a favorite, it begins with an S and is followed by some vowels and consonants. Yes indeedy. I think we'll find out pretty soon.
Silence of the Scythe? That would be a cool Tim related name.
Minear will spend the Christmas break working on a rewrite on his adaptation of Heinlen?s The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, and working on a pilot for a show he created for ABC.
Heh, that immediately reminded me of this.

Tomorrow morning I'm gonna sit down and figure out exactly what Fox needs in terms of what's missing from their scripted programming. No joke. I'll approach it scientifically and specifically. I'll create the hit pilot with franchise legs that will allow them to build big in the scripted area in such a way that they'll be able to relax a little and nurture slower building shows. Something that would give them some stability. That's what I'll create.
Then I'll sell it ABC.
Heh. Me too, Edain. It also had me holding my breath that Minear might be doing two shows at once. He is in a haunted office, after all.
I think he's just creating it and that's it. But I could be totally stoned on cold medicine.
Hey! I am totally stoned on cold medicine!
I am totally stoned on cold medicine!
This would be a good name for a rock band.
Thank you, thank you, Allyson.
Allyson is a damned entertaining writer, yeah? And I say that not as the subject of her article. Well, I mean, I do... but, er, you know what I mean. She's just really good at it.
