[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.
Pasadena is in the San Gabriel Valley. The Valley that is most often referred to as "The Valley" is the San Fernando Valley which is the basin that runs from the Verdugo Mountains to the East (those East of Burbank) to the mountains near Simi in the West. The Santa Monica/hollywood hills to the South and the San Gabriel Mountains to the North.
Thus, your geography lesson is done now.
I'd take notes but I figure after the next earthquake all of those places will be somewhere else anyway.
ETA -- Rachel Nichols is on the cover of the TV Week in Sunday's Chicago Tribune. There a reprint of the zap2it article on the series. And a reprint of another zap2it article about Katie Finneran, who is a native of Chicago. Katie said that she signed on because of Tim Minear, who she refers to as "the Noel Coward of television."
"There are all manner of sick and twisted deviant behaviors that we can explore for the enjoyment of America."
And that's why we love him. Heh.
Thanks, Kat. I guess I am in The Valley then.
Did anyone link to this article before? [link] If so, sorry for the re-post.
And then, something miraculous happened: The executives at Fox hired Tim Minear to salvage the project. [snip] How good is Minear? It would not be rash to consider him one of the five best minds in television.

He's also cute.
That's a nice article, bon bon, thanks!
From there he executive produced the critically-lauded Firefly in 2002 before creating Wonderfalls last year.
He didn't help create it, did he? I thought Fuller and Holland were the official creators, and Tim helped them make the actual show.
There is the vaguest hint of the supernatural hanging about the show. Not quite Lost, not quite Twin Peaks, not quite The X-Files, there are, nonetheless, larger forces at work in Virgil Webster's office. Let's hope The Inside survives so that we can find out what they are.
OMG Web is Satan!
It would not be rash to consider him one of the five best minds in television.Why didn't anyone ever mention Tim's mom is a TV critic?
Dear god, I need an editor.
Are you writing the BNF essay?
