It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

[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.

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

Allyson, you are not responsible for shooting down every set of crazy people.

I am very anti-adding the stink of failure to something that has not aired.

If I only had a brain...

I'm anti it too. I am also anti-torture, anti-anchovies, and anti-anti-intellectualism.

I'm just saying, you are not required to tilt at every windmill. If you want to, mazel tov.

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.

Just an observation: they put Hell's Kitchen in 24's timeslot and The Inside in American Idol's timeslot. Where's the logic in that? Am I missing something?

I wasn't aware that Idol was on at 9pm

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

Yup.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Anthony - good point. I'm not sure Hells Kitchen will even translate to the US that well - I've seen the original UK version and, well, it just didn't strike me as too portable.

But then, I didn't think Big Brother would translate to the US, and it has.

I saw an episode of The Simpsons last night where Homer tries to sell a crazy shit reality TV idea to Fox. It made me laugh.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

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".

That was my viewing as well. If someone (me) yelled “get a new idea” after the "jumanji in space" trailer, we were at the same show.

"There are two sorts of people in the world: those who believe Joss Whedon is a genius and those who are wrong." - Connie Ogle, Miami Herald

I wonder when the boyf's DVR will show The Inside on it. I'll have to take a look. Surely by Saturday?

If it's a Tivo, it's already up on the programming guide and you can set a season pass for it. (Done.)
