A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I'm going to stand in a corner and say that I was not impressed by the promo. If I had not already read stuff about the show here, I would think that it was a TV version of Silence of the Lambs and nothing more and wouldn't be going out of my way to watch it when it premiered.

I hope that later promos give a better indication of how this show is special.

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

How do you think the show is special, Jon? Or do you think maybe it isn't?

The trailer gave me no sense of the Noir and no sense of the Funny¹. I don't know if the show will be special or not. How could I? -- I haven't seen it. But I'm expecting it to be special cause I trust Tim.

¹I don't think it will be a "dramedy", but I'm expecting some humor because... again... Tim.

Expect some gallow's humor.

If I only had a brain...

I'm not sure there's anything a cast member can say pre-show that would intrigue me. During the show is different.

That is the sound of ultimate unhelpfulness. Betsy makes it now.

This is why I haven't got anything either. I mean, Tim, yeah, I can think of questions for him, but outside of meta stuff that's not anything I'd really want to ask the actors (like whether Adam and Peter have had any interesting political discussions) I got nothing for the cast.

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

You could ask Katie and Adam who wins the fight over who was on the best Minear show previous to this one. Also if they used thumb wars to decide.

The only thing I can think of is, was it a big adjustment for Katie going from working on a show with Tim that was full of whimsy and comedy to one that's as dark as The Inside appears to be?

She probably keeps a sharp eye out for ambulances.

Good one! Ask this one.

Also, ask Katie if she can sneak a brass monkey into the set decorations.
