The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress
[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.
Send her your still-beating heart.
Too late, she already ripped it out with the Wonderfalls cancellation last year.
Send her your still-beating heart.
Ever since Sept. 11, I'm only allowed to mail dead hearts.
Disagree.
How will putting it on opposite two of the biggest hits on television benefit the show? I'm not trying to be a smartass nor one of the naysayers putting out bad vibes and raising Allyson's blood pressure to dangerous levels when I say that the bus that ran over Wonderfalls had a C.S.I. plate on the front and an Apprentice one on the back. Say what you will about the "Friday Slot of Death," but it was the Thursday smackdown that got the show yanked after one week. Better a cult following on Friday than a sacrificial lamb on Thursday. And if "The Inside" ends up on Thursday I really really really really hope I'm as wrong about this as I was about the election.

I was right about the election. Will explain in a few, need to get some things done. But my theory is both Good and Sound.
Why would you even want one?I have the original pilots for Buffy and Wonderfalls and I wouldn't mind seeing The Inside 1.0, at least once, in order to compare it against Tim's new and improved version.
No matter what, the show is going to be up against something. Personally, I don't know that The OC is the best lead-in for this series. On the other hand, there aren't that many options. Short of extending FOX's programming another hour.
And let's be realistic. They're having enough trouble with two hours a night. I don't want to think about what would happen if they had to fill three hours a night.
I can think of suggestions for what they could fill at least a couple hours a week with...
I love how in "Caged Bird" everything spirals out of control in a perfectly choreographed fashion. Jaye isn't misinterpreting the muses; they are deliberately leading her step-by-step through the situation. It's the kind of thing that makes me all giddy because convenient coincidences are usually irritating contrivances, but here, they are the very fabric of the show.
Why is this show gone? WHY IS THIS SHOW GONE?!
I'd love to see a grid all laid out and completely redo their schedule in a way that makes sense (to me).
I'm good with leaving this up to Allyson. How do we get her hired to do this?
My suggestion involves a combination of heavily armed thuggery, over-the-top violence and surrealist comedy. On the other hand, that describes my solution to most problems.
It's more applicable than you think, really.
