this is why we need to change the name to Southland.
South Shore? South Beach? Summerland?
Might as well stick with what's already there.

[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
See, this is why we need to change the name to Southland
I have to keep correcting people too. Can we start a change the name campaign? And by "we" I mean Allyson.

Allyson, what weirded Fox out about your set report?

That I was there. My set report ended up reposted in various forms around the 'net, so I think FOX was a little freaked, wanting to know who this reporter was snooping around the set.
I'm just tickled that they thought I was a journalist.

I'm still baffled. I've never been able to figure out where they might have read it.

I hope it's not marketed as Another Cop Show. That would be wrong.
I know nearly nothing about TV, but what you say makes sense to me, I mean, in that sense, H:LotS, for example, was Another Cop Show, right?
Gah, I'm sorry for the constant shilling.
For me - and obviously I can only speak for myself, here - you've never expressed any opinion which wasn't your own, with reasons and explanations behind it, and it's not like you've praised automatically anything ME/Tim - again, you just expressed an opinion, your own, and if it happened to be a good one, well, then, yay, but that's just the way it was. Oh, and you were never afraid of shanging your mind and beginning to like something you didn't like before ("Firefly") or to dislike something you used to like ("Buffy").
So for me, due to all that, those snippets and reports and excitement and pictures and the like make me look forward for things to come.
[Edit: and, yeah, it has an aspect background here, reading your posts for enough time so that not the words alone give them meaning, if that makes any sense, but then it's this whole social stuff, that always makes me confused when I try to think about it and I never really understand what y'all are saying when you're talking about it, so I'm not going into that.]
Also, you make me wonder if the show may not be too dark or gruesome for vanilla me. Still really excited and looking forward, but wondering.

Good point, Nilly!
I am hoping for just dark enough to be fascinating but not dark enough to preclude 5 seasons.

From the sound of it, I might not have stuck around for the show if it had been from other creators - I'm not sure something that echoes Silence of the Lambs would appeal to me every week based on content alone. But knowing that it's going to have better writers than anything else on TV makes me eager just to hear how all the characters will talk.
