I got the idea that Wonderfalls didn't do well on Thursday not because it was opposite CSI, but because it was only there for one friggin' week. They moved it and didn't give people a chance to figure out that it had moved. That's just the voices in my head talking though.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Una, your voices have been talking to my voices.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I wonder how much programming monkeys make, and if it involves overtime, and how much websufing I can do.

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?
Una, after the cancellation I got a lot of e-mail from people saying "I didn't know Wonderfalls had moved to Thursday!" A couple people actually argued with me and tried to say it had been cancelled after three episodes, not four. So, yeah, I'd say it was less CSI and more the move that resulted in those terrible ratings.

That's really funny.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I just finished the Wonderfalls DVDs (except for the commentaries). Am broke now. I sometimes cry for unrequited love stories (like, say, Cyrano de Bergerac ) so there was some tears goin' on for some of the latter episodes....

Hey, Miracles - the Complete Series is coming out. Wasn't Fury on this?

That sounds right. Fury was already busy on BtVS, I think.

And they he went to Jake 2.0 which lasted only slightly longer, right? Greenwalt, I mean.
