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?

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.

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.

And I wish they'd hire you to do it.

I have a soul, I'm disqualified.
