Hey. New board.

Hmm. Buffy Season 5 in a weekend was my introduction to the show. Firefly took me 2 days, I guess. My So-Called Life was a single sitting, Freaks and Geeks was two. I once did two seasons of That '70s Show at once, and Alias Season 1 was watched at least 6 episodes at a time. Though Gilmore Girls Season 1 took me a full week, that was only because of Netflix waiting time - each set of three discs was watched in 1-2 days with a waiting time in the middle. And the last half of Once and Again Season 1 took me less than a day.

So, yeah.

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

Tudykwatch:

UNTITLED DEBORAH KAPLAN/HARRY ELFONT PROJECT (ABC) - Julie Bowen ("Ed"), Michael Landes ("Special Unit 2") and Alan Tudyk ("Firefly") have all joined the cast of the single-camera comedy pilot, about the dating lives of a group of thirtysomething singles in Philadelphia. Bowen will play Jane, who's described in the casting notice as: "Late 20's-early 30's, any ethnicity, pretty, smart, demonstrative, upbeat, romantic, and definitely a "blurter." Although she could be considered a bit flaky when it comes to relationships, Jane owns a bakery, so she's got it together in that area of life. She was dating a handsome doctor [yet to be cast] before she hit it off big time with Sam [yet to be cast]. That was six weeks ago. Jane still hasn't gotten around to dumping Dr. Steven - but that's because she's not quote sure where she stands with Sam. In an effort to save face, she lets her best friend, Paige [yet to be cast], talk her into joining her at a blind date restaurant."

Landes then is set as Todd - "Late 20's-early 30's, any ethnicity. Attractive, charismatic, womanizing, gregarious, compulsive, easily bored, and a whiz at rationalizing, Todd is one of Sam's closest friends. Todd is one those guys who can get away with anything. He is forever searching for the perfect girl, car, life, and doesn't plan on settling for less any time soon. Todd works with Sam at a telecommunications company" - while Tudyk will play Oakes - "Late 20's-early 30's, any ethnicity. Brainy, edgy, prone to melancholy, awkward with the ladies, he's an odd bird who left Harvard following his quasimeltdown in the library. Oakes now lives alone at his parent's mansion. (They moved to Europe after his college fiasco). Oakes has a unique view on most topics, but sometimes can be too smart for his own good. He has been Sam's pal since childhood." Touchstone Television and The Untitled Burke/Tarses Project are behind the project, which was created by Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont.

Yay! Any Tudyk is good Tudyk. But what are the chances of us ever actually getting to see this?

Would it be very selfish of me to wholeheartedly wish that it crashes and burns so he'll be nice and free to go back to Firefly WHEN it gets a new series?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I seem to recall something about not being able to go back to TV for 5 years in the contract with either Fox or Universal. So plenty of time for AT to do a sitcom or three as long as he can take time off for the second and third movie.
