Not knowing anything other than what I've read on some boards, I think there was a communications mixup between Universal and Joss.
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

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
From the interview:
If somebody wrote something, and it was right, I’d never change it, because I am too lazy. There are producers who need to control everything and I needed to control exactly what needed controlling, and if somebody could get it done I would walk away faster than you could see me. Like I was Bugs Bunny. There would just be smoke in the shape of where I was.
Which I think is important to remember. There were writers who didn't get rewritten, who were left alone to do good, solid work. Which is very different from some fan perspectives that JOSS DID IT ALL AND EVEN HELD THE BOOM.

My theory is that Universal says yes to things and doesn't tell Mike. And then it doesn't go on the calendar. And if it isn't on the calendar, then it just doesn't exist.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Aye, I believe Allyson might be onto something there.
Allyson: you are far too polite elsewhere on t'internet. I wonder if somebody has hacked your userid?! Those 'Allyson' posts don't sound like you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
He received an award from the CHUD foundation, so he's an honorary CHUD.

The CHUD have a foundation now? I didn't even know they had TV....

Yes, by using their trained sewer alligators to bite off the Morlocks' cables and drag them to the CHUD saunas.

Hell, they're organized! I had no idea. I thought the CHUD were still just roaming at random and attacking whoever was unfortunate enough to cross their path!
Do they have a health plan now?

Unfortunately, they still feed their sick and injured to the alligators.
