I've no worries about The Inside, if it makes any difference.
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

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.

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 haven't spoken with anyone about it, unsure if Kristen has, but my general feeling about why no one has heard anything about The Inside is because it's slated as one of their Fall premieres, and that's a vote of confidence.
Internet time is different. The marketing people seem to not get that once word is out on the net, there has to be a steady trickle of some sort of news or folks think the worst.
They won't start marketing The Inside until they start marketing their other Fall shows, this Summer. The current Fall season hasn't ended yet, you know?
Also, as far as I know, Berman wasn't the only advocate for The Inside at FOX. And they've spent a ton of money on it so far. The Inside will appeal to a wide audience, and will also satisfy those of us in the niche who really and truly care about great storytelling. It's just what everyone on every level at the FOX network has been salivating for, and from all accounts, they're treating the show well.
Hence me not worrying, though I wish someone at the network/studio would get beaten with a big cluestick about internet marketing, and how cheap/important it can be.

Heh. I'm so rational sometimes.

I'm not really worrying about Berman's replacement...
...unless it's Mike Darnell. Then all bets are off.

I dunno, isn't Fox a little done with reality programming? Wasn't there a recent "mistakes were made" speech from Berman?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Me, too. And I wish they'd hire you to do it. The marketing, not the beating. Unless the beating pays better. Then I say give you the big stick.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, Allyson, couldn't hurt to try.
