I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

"Well, how could it be any worse than FOX?"

The good thing about NBC is that they seem to realize they're in a period of rebuilding. And, hopefully, that knowledge means they'll give new shows some time to grow.

FOX doesn't seem aware that they need to rebuild. Or, if they are aware, they have a really bizarre plan.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Which network had Eyes, again?

NBC may not be such a bad place for a new Tim show. They don't have anywhere near the history of short-shrifting shows that Fox does. If anything, they tend to support quality programming even when they don't make the ratings. I.e. H:LOTS, Scrubs, Seinfeld, etc. In the drama category their upcoming shows aren't getting good buzz (Surface, Inconceivable, Three Wishes), and I think they finally hit bottom this year in ratings among the big 4 networks. The only solid genre show they have now is Medium which would be a good match with any Tim show.

Of course next to the abusive boyfriend FOX, any network looks rosier.

All is well that ends in pizza.

FOX still thinks they are the young upstart network.

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

FOX still thinks they are the young upstart network.

Maybe they should look into some botox so they can keep looking in the mirror and telling themselves that.

What is even happening?

I have sort of an imagined vendetta against NBC. I maybe hate them more than I hate FOX, or at least, when I was prompted to hate them, my hate for them was stronger than my hate for FOX. Possibly. Well, Wonderfalls skews everything, because that could have been my One True Show, the second.

Share the details of the imagined vendetta, please. An unshared vendetta is not worth vendetta-ing. (It is, actually; I just want to know.)

Yeah, spill. I was going to start a rumour that Cindy was a secret COP ROCK fan, but turns out that was ABC.

Well, NBC did have Supertrain.
