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.
That's a definite fair point. And I think my definition of "quirky" may not be everyone's. For example, I think the movie of "Silence of the Lambs" counts as quirky (because of some of the secondary characters and casting - the geeky entymologists, Chris Isaak, Charles Napier, etc.) whereas the movie of "Hannibal" is not remotely quirky.
And thanks Edain. The order of the DVDs is 1. Wax Lion 2. Pink Flamingos 3. Karma Chameleon 4. Wound-up Penguin 5. Crime Dog 6. Muffin Buffalo 7. Barrel Bear 8. Lovesick Ass 9. Safety Canary 10. Lying Pig 11. Cocktail Bunny 12. Totem Mole 13. Caged Bird
Did we know Pink Flamingos had been shown two episodes later than it was supposed to be?
See, I would never characterize SotL as "quirky". Eerie, perhaps. Not quirky.
ETA: Though I am about to watch it again so perhaps I will change my mind.
I was going to say something, but then remembered that I defend Natural Born Killers as morally ambiguous.
Yes, you do. You're quirky that way.

No, I get that. It's a damn scary movie. But some of the things that make it unmistakebly the work of Jonathan Demme also seem to me to be "quirky" touches.
I think if "The Inside" has some of the snarky dialog and characterization of other shows Tim's worked on, compared to, say, CSI, it will be on the quirky side for what it is. Doesn't mean it won't be scary.
I hope Fox is into it. Because I think a lot of shows that have died on their vine did so because they didn't like and support them. I remember "Firefly" and "Wonderfalls" ads, but I don't think they pushed them anywhere near as much as shows they did support.

Well, we knew "Karma Chameleon" and "Wound-Up Penguin" were written after the other eleven episodes were to introduce/clear up issues for future storylines, and "Pink Flamingos" had a suspiciously great deal of continuity with "Wax Lion." It probably works better directly after the pilot.

Now THERE'S a quirky movie.

See, when y'all say Mr. Coyote in this thread ... I get confused.
