I would assume that's an error, HiddenSky, since they've already told Tim that no more would air, but who knows.

"Don' be e-scared"

So did we air in Canada? Just curious. I'm finishing the last one now. I'm looking forward to ya'll seeing what's left. If I do say so, 9, 10, 11 (though not 11 as much as 9 and 10), 12 and 13 (though not as much 13 as 12) all turned out really well. 9, 10 and 12 are all high water marks for us. In fact the run of Thief Of Hearts, De-Clawed, Aidan, Little Girl Lost and Gem feels very Angel season two to me. I think as a 13 episode set, I'm pretty happy with it all.

Also, I spoke to Rachel today, she's really excited about Alias. I told her to be nice to Jeff Bell.

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

It was an audio interview, and I don't remember where I found it, Strega.

But I'll look.

I guess I figured if you're picking 1001 people in the world to do stuff -- I'm effectively equivalently likely be bitten by a radioactive spider and gain powers. You pick 1001 LA experts, and my phone won't ring. Never mind the US.

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

Huh. You're alive. Cool.

Quick! Everyone! Go pitch a comedy to NBC.

I'm pretty sure that, based on my Situation: Comedy viewing, funny is optional.

I actually met with NBC this morning, oddly.

How'd that go?

More importantly, what did you wear?

My favourite idea I've heard recently for a sitcom is one where a straight guy inherits his uncle's gay bar, and he's not allowed to sell it.

Quick! Someone write the pilot and precis, and don't forget to give character bios and your plans for making it to episode #100. Also include the style in which the sitcom is to be filmed.

Then give me a %age.

Did you pitch a comedy? Because I'm pretty sure they'd be promoing your new series right now, if you did.
