Open Letter to Gail Berman
Wrod.
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

[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.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
From his lips to Gail's ears.
I agree. Except for that Firefly crack. I still think it could have made it had they treated it well, or even ok.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
From his lips to Gail's ears.
Oops, almost an X-post with libkitty. Yeah, I asked Goodman about Firefly, and he wasn't all that sympathetic. But then he probably didn't see it in order, and you all know how that went.

Stoopid Fox, showing my lovely show out of order.

I was fine when existence had no meaning. Meaninglessness in a universe that has no meaning -- that I get. But meaninglessness in a universe with
meaning? What does that mean?
That was colder maybe than intended. I just hate seeing you do so much free PR for her, and then go all out-of-pocket as well.
Nah, it wasn't cold. She's sending the sets to Bryan and getting him to autograph them and send them back, and then she'll send directly to the winners. I'm getting Bryan and Todd to send the autographed scripts directly to the winners, too -- no need for me to be a middleman; it just delays everything.
I should get a commission on the DVD sets sold. ;)

ABC has two hit shows (no need to name them) that you should have had.
Had Fox gotten Lost, would have been buried on Fridays and gone in 5, maybe 6 eps.

Yeah, Desperate Housewives and Lost are doing so well because ABC gave them great timeslots and promoted the hell out of them. For DH they even put "everybody has a little dirty laundry" on dry cleaning bags for some grassroots marketing. All the promos they air accurately portray the shows, too. I hope FOX is taking lessons.

Aww. Just like Lynette's idea.
Someone remind me when Wonderfalls is out on DVD. I need to get it for someone before she gets it for herself.
