A single camera half hour comedy? Naw. The career seems to be going okay, actually. "The Inside" was actually the first project that I was credited on as a creator. Not ready to throw in the towel on hour drama just yet. Also, I haven't been off the air since I started writing for prime time with "Lois and Clark." It's been almost a decade.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The Inside and Strange World together, that would rock. Good luck with that plan, Tim. I'd been trying to get all of Strange World on tape, and failing utterly. I'm not going to start watching them until I have them all. I'm not a masochist. Much.

Damn, I'll add my "that sucks" and all. Not terribly surprised, but I was hoping for at least one more aired episode.

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
Oh, that. Sure.
Hey, this isn't like when you invite us all over to your place to watch stuff, but then you don't give anyone the address, right?
For reals?

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Tim, are you still thinking about that plan to write the perfect show for Fox and then sell it to ABC? It might just work.

All is well that ends in pizza.
How about a Heinlein anthology series, featuring all of his short stories?

True. I mean, if "Robin's Hoods" didn't scare you away from TV, let alone the one-hour drama, then you're a far better man then I am, Gunga Tim.
Also, I haven't been off the air since I started writing for prime time with "Lois and Clark." It's been almost a decade.
And to think: we have the creators and original showrunners for "Scarecrow & Mrs. King" to thank for that.
Man, but that leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
ETA: Yes, I am a TV snob. But, 1) I don't apologize for having high standards; and 2) come on, "Scarecrow" was AWFUL.

Bwah! I too thought "His landlord is Mr. Roper?"
There's something hinky about it though... he reassures applicants that he's goodlooking, which would be irrelevant if he just wants them as a friend or roommate. Also, why on earth would he specifically require a live-in girlfriend? Who would rent only to couples but not to a single guy?

This is what I am saying. And then FOX will be soooo jealous. They'll send flowers and chocolates and stuff. But Tim should say he moved and give them my address, so I can have the flowers and chocolates.
And when they call begging for him to take them back, I'll be all, "I'm sorry, Tim can't come to the phone, ABC is busy feeding him grapes."

My landlord rents almost exclusively to single, cutiehead women.
