Even if it is basic cable.
Works for Jon Stewart.

[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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Tim should kill Jon Stewart on The Inside.

No. Tim should have Jon Stewart kill a guy in a bow-tie, on The Inside.

I like Cindy's thinking.
Making a guy in a bow-tie cry would be good too (as one buffista can claim to have).

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I think they're currently working on a reality show where C List celebrities try to ice skate.
So many more opportunities for injury and death there than with dancing... Tim, ever thought about producing a reality series?

Tim? Reality?
Does this mean he couldn't kill people off?
Tim Minear: Terrorist. I really shouldn't make that joke, being from the UK and all.

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
Hey! I already planned Tim's next show. It'll be GREAT! In my head. Because he says it's all too grim. hurrumph.

"There's something very liberating about the genre. You can do big, giant metaphors and really hit them hard," says Tim Minear, co-creator of Fox's psychological crime drama "The Inside." Minear is also a veteran writer of futuristic space action ("Firefly"), contemporary fantasy ("Angel") and whimsical flights of fancy ("Wonderfalls"). He says he's producing "The Inside" in "exactly the way I did 'Angel.' It's melodrama with big, epic villains and moral ambiguity and heroes in jeopardy of being corrupted and going over to the dark side or walking in the dark in order to maintain the good. They just don't turn into vampires."
Writer Minear admits: "Some may look down their nose at us, but let me tell you a little secret. People who work in the genre secretly think we're much cooler. How many 'West Wing' conventions are there?"

And you know, it was much easier, even enjoyable in a sick way, to see say...Faith torture Wesley, where I don't think I could watch a scene like that outside of a high concept show.
