So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

[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.

"Don' be e-scared"

I wouldn't Allyson doing TWOP recaps on my show. Then I'd have to read them. I'm conflicted.

Tim! [puppypile]

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

And also don't set your Tivo for Friday nights -- I'm told Friday is out.

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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I'm told Friday is out.

Yay!!!!!

No, the last ten minutes are insanely good, and in general the composition makes me weep for joy. I just think the whole Civil War excursion could be excised. (Whew. I was feeling so guilty about not loving it unrservedly.)
