I'm not sure that I can be snarky about the inside (or whatever it's going to be called, that seems to be back up in the air again). My heart is too attached. And my face.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

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

Hey. New board.
Based on Couch Baron's VM recaps, and how much they seem to be loved, not that much snark is required. He loves the show too much to snark about it with great skill. Mostly, he just talks about the HoYay in clever ways, which seems to satisfy the "without pity" part.

"Don' be e-scared"
I wouldn't Allyson doing TWOP recaps on my show. Then I'd have to read them. I'm conflicted.

Am I allowed to think The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is about thirty minutes too long?

Hey. New board.
Okay, now that's a reasonable argument. But would that be bad, if they were good? And I can't imagine they wouldn't be.

"Don' be e-scared"
By the way, not much I can report officially yet, but did have a big meeting with Peter Liguori, the new president of the Fox network. He's really digging the show, which is a good. I can hint that you'll probably be seeing it sooner rather than later, and that Peter talked about how he launced Nip/Tuck and Rescue Me in off months. if we do go up this summer, don't expect it to look like a Fox burnoff. And also don't set your Tivo for Friday nights -- I'm told Friday is out. More later when I know the specifics.

It's wicked long, Betsy. I'm sort of there with you. But those last ten minutes -- woof! Leoni could teach these kids how to fill a frame.

Whoo! My family is watching Desperate Housewives together, and it is so not good. I keep interrupting during commercials to say "You know Mommy would never do that? Right???!??!?! Right?!??!?". I feel this issue would not come up so often on a police show.

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

Good for you, man.
I don't care so much when they launch it (although sooner works for the greed in me), so long as they launch it confidently.
