No, it didn't. "Wax Lion," "Pink Flamingos," "Karma Chameleon," and "Wound-Up Penguin" were the only ones that aired.

Since everyone so far agrees that I've misinterpreted, I'll acquiece.

I do see at Whedonesque and the Firefly OB the whole, "yeah, Fox will just cancel it anyway" 'tude, so maybe there's something there.

I understand that FOX will reap what it has sown in terms of viewer loyalty, but the skittishness also punishes the shows. It seems like punching FOX in the kidney but it's the programs that double over.

I can see Allyson's point. While we may get (and possibly even enjoy) the sarcasm, we aren't enough to keep a show on the air. It would be much more helpful to have a bold, neon, flashing sign that says "MUST SEE" over the title of the show.

Since everyone so far agrees that I've misinterpreted, I'll acquiece.

Actually I don't think you've misinterpreted. Yeah, I didn't get that impression when I first read the column, but that's because I know the kind of columns that Chris usually writes, and was just looking for the funny. But on second read, I can see how you came to that interpretation, and I do think others might read the same thing into it. So I don't blame you at all for getting your hackles up about it, and I'm not mad at you for expressing your opinion. Guess I was just feeling a bit mama bearish, too, since I know the author of the article.

And I must've unconciously felt the same about the article, because my immediate response was to say "Great column! But IIRC, I think Tim mentioned feeling more confident about the network's feel of "The Inside", as compared to Wonderfalls and Firefly". And my second impulse was to start a new thread on my forum saying HEY! WATCH THIS SHOW!!! Which I think I shall do.

Or one of those standard bad guy machines that hijacks the world's television signals forcing everyone to stand in front of television store windows transfixed to whatever's on.

Someone must have one.

Someone must have one.

Try ACME. I think they have a special.

Don't know if I'd trust them. Apparantly they have some quality control problems, leading to at least one lawsuit, Coyote vs Acme.

I love that piece, thanks for linking to it. I used to have it up on my refrigerator. This line I adore: "the Rocket Sled accelerated with such sudden and precipitate force as to stretch Mr. Coyote's forelimbs to a length of fifty feet" is one of the funniest things I have ever read. I just have to remember it to laugh out loud.

Or the aftermath of the spring shoes malfunction:

The sequence of collisions resulted in systemic physical damage to Mr. Coyote, viz, flatting of the cranium, sideways displacement of the tongue, reduction of length of legs and upper body, and compression of vertebrae from base of tail to head. Repetition of blows along a vertical axis produced a series of regular horizontal folds in Mr. Coyote's body tissues —- a rare and painful condition which caused Mr. Coyote to expand upward and downward alternately as he walked, and to emit an off-key, accordion like wheezing with every step. The distracting and embarrassing nature of this symptom has been a major impediment to Mr. Coyote's pursuit of a normal social life.

Apparantly they have some quality control problems, leading to at least one lawsuit, Coyote vs Acme.

Ha ha ha! That is awesome.

To add to the list of great bits:

Fracture of the left ear at the stem, causing the ear to dangle in the aftershock with a creaking noise.
