We sent out review copies with three episodes, The Pilot, Old Wounds, and Pre-Filer, which are the first three episodes. It'll be interesting to see what the critics make of it. "Wonderfalls" was so well reviewed -- and so quickly killed. "Firefly" had really luke warm reviews initially, it's only after the DVDs that people really took a second look. So I'm not sure what I need here other than SOME PRESS so that people who might be inclined give it a few episodes sampling will know it's on.
Anyway, a friend of mine called me last night to say she finally watched "Wonderfalls" on DVD and it's her favorite show. We grew up together listening to Andy Partridge, so that theme was kind of for her. She said she went to a party and people who didn't know she knew me were bemoaning the show's cancellation. It was their favorite show, too. So I popped in the DVDs this morning... hey, it was really good!
hey, it was really good!
Really is. Firefly also not shabby. Angel? Didn't suck. You sir, are filled with adequatulence.
But it's his work on "Buffy" that I love the most.
My days on "Buffy" will always be special to me.
Wow, that sounded porny.
That's how we know it's you. Well, that and the killing of characters.

I bought them when they first came out, but it was too hard to start watching them right away. I finally saw
Lovesick Ass
for the first time. I'd forgotten I read the script for it, after the show was canceled. My word, I love that series. I get irrationally angry that it wasn't given a better shot.
I am holding out for the Wonderfalls DVDs as a birthday gift. (Maybe I ought to MENTION them to gift-buying people in the next little bit.)
ETA:
You see, I own a cat. Which makes me a wannabe writer fan.
If I get a beagle, will I become a real writer?!
Some real writers have cats.
and lastly, I want to add that my favorite episode of Buffy is that one Tim wrote, where some people died, and stuff happened. Damn, that episode kicked ass.

Cindy, as usual, is me. Only with more kids and a dead sexy, but doomed hubby.
On Wonderfalls, I'm kinda resigned. My experiences in pimping it have been pretty straightforward - the type of people that liked, say, Buffy, generally liked it. The type that didn't, didn't. Based on that, I think it was pretty much always doomed on Fox, which is very sad.
I pimped Wonderfalls to three co-workers. One came back to work the next day and said, "It's brilliant! But you know it's too smart to last, right?" *sigh*
