Regarding FOX's comments: They washed their hands of Point Pleasant and it debuted after Idol. I never saw it so I'm not sure if it sucked but the Inside probably would have had the same crappy fate if it was banished to Thursdays against (new episodes of) CSI and the 900th edition of Donald Trump's reality show.

I don't think anyone really cares as long as it works.

For some reason it cracks me up that Amber and Steve Sandvoss are guest-starring in the same episode after being in Latter Days together. Now you just need Jacqueline Bisset as a high-class serial killer and you're all set!

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
Okay. Here's what I want, Santa Tim:
I want the System of a Down version of the theme song. I want the music supervisor to talk about some of the music chosen for the show.
I want some sort of script to screen interview with you about the pilot.
My favorite thing in the world is when you start telling me, "I think it would be really cool if...." And then you go off into Timland and paint the picture of the episode or idea, verbally. And then I get to read the script, and then see it onscreen.
I want you to start with, "So I thought about a sort of shadowy James Woods-like character, and he's in a sort of quasi-government agency, and he recruits this new kid, and you're never really sure if the James Woods guy is on the side of right." Because that was the moment before your swimmer hit the egg. I think it's interesting to hear how ideas came about and how you brought them to screen.
I'll conduct the interview. It'll be great. Or not.
I really so want to hear from the music dude, because if I could have a wish at the end of it all, it would be a soundtrack.

I want five minutes with Serj. I need to ask him about Buckethead.
ETA: Oh wait. This for the DVDs. Then...I just want a lot of commentary tracks. Those always make me happy.

And Kristen also would like new shoes.

Allyson would like a pony.

I want to see footage of William Mapother wearing the 900 lb cannibal suit to a family gathering. Where he might still be the most normal person there.

Amen. We'll leave out cookies and milk for you and Rudy the Rednosed reinbeagle.

I want the System of a Down version of the theme song.
Wait, there's a System of a Down version? For real? I love System of a Down.

There were three versions, I think. One of them was done by Serj from SoaD. It was my favorite.
