The ads I've seen for The Inside represent the scripts I've read, and Tim's description of the series really well.

I can't remember the ads for Wonderfalls.

Let me refresh your memory.

I always thought the promos reflected WF, which is more than, say, the FF marketing did, but they didn't really grab you and make you want to watch. The show was hard to sell.

Hey all, Thanks for the welcomes.

On Movietime: I dislike ads (commercials, I can see them on TV for free) though I now have a better understanding of the need for them. I love to see "previews" (movie trailers) if the are suitable for the expected audience. What I mean is, I saw Hitchhiker's Guide and there were almost 10 previews. No Serenity, but 7 or so were for preteen movies "sharkboy", "herbie", "kicking and screaming", "jumanji in space", etc. Not that I wish to disparage these movies or their audience, I just didn't feel they fit with "the Guide".

On ads for previous shows: I agree with Allyson (and nicely done with the American History X reference). Wonderfalls ads were few, they made me watch, but obviously didn't work for the masses. Firefly ads completely failed to give any accurate indication of the true nature of the show. I watched as a fan of Joss, Buffy, and Angel, and fell in love.

On taping The Inside: I'll be taping in order to show it off to people who don't listen to me and watch it themselves. Apparently the ability to FF past ads helps.

"jumanji in space"

Ah. Zathura [link]

Yeah, trying to be funny, *sniff* failed.

Thanks for the linkage to the Wonderfalls ads Kristen. makes me want to watch the DVDs again.

Inside ads are plentiful and looking good. I'm seeing them all the time now. I just hope everyone else is too.

Was funny, but only after I Googled and found out about the movie.

Went from total ignorance to grokking in a few keystrokes.

I love Google.

"Grokking"? Sorry, that's a new one on me. Kinda summons the image of milk spewing from nostrils though.

Oh, and the NCIS thing was in reference to the way in which they just brutally removed one of their primary characters in the finale. Again, not as funny as it was in my head.

SPOILER: if you didn't see it yet.

Paraphrased: Setup:(Kate, Gibbs and Tony on the roof. Kate spots gunman coming up stairs through door and gunning for Gibbs, dives in the way taking a round to the chest) Gibbs:(rushes to Kate finds her wearing her vest and helps her up) Thank you Kate. Kate:Gibbs? I thought I would've died before I ever heard you say tha.... *Pop* sniper hits her between the eyes.

Brutal, Just made me think of Tim. umm.. In a good way, Tim.

Sorry, should now be spoilered right.

JadeHand, whitefont that. Put the letter "s" for spoiler as the first character on the line of the spoily bit, then a space.

JadeHand, this thread will be free for discussing The Inside as it airs (we call it Watch n' Post), but all other teevee shows need to be whitefonted so as not to spoil people who haven't seen them.

I know you made an effort to warn, but Our Way is to whitefont spoilers.

OK, JadeHand, you have to have grok in your vocab to hang out in here.

It's a Heinlein thing.
