The order's for thirteen eps, yeah.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

[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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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
Is The Inside limited run?
I don't understand the question. You mean like Monk or Queer As Folk with a 13 episode season?

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Thanks for clearing that up. It is not like a mini-series, is what I was wondering.

No, not at all. It's just like any other series pretty much. They ordered 13 episodes, if it does well in the ratings, they'll order the back nine.

I don't think the sponsors have caught up.
Technically, the show was promoted to potential advertisers at last year's upfronts. Granted, it was the old show and it was as a mid-season replacement.
I did notice that there didn't seem to be as much of FOX's year-round programming rhetoric coming from this year's upfront presentation.

In unrelated news, can someone explain to me why people name their local electric chairs?

Old Sparky, for example? Yeah, that is weird. Gas chambers and injections don't get that much love.

Yeah. Old Sparky. Old Smokey. Old Betsy. (There does seem to be a continuing theme of "Old" going on here. Maybe people who name their electric chairs just lack vision.) Yellow Mama. WTF?

I agree that is strange, Kristen. I have to wonder why this particular oddity is bugging you, tonight, though.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
WTF?
I'm thinking that Old Smokey is not my preferred method of exit from this planet. Maybe New Instanteously if really pressed on this issue.
