What is even happening?

See these are all background texture if you don't get the shout out. The only one I could remotely argue as affecting Fox one way or the other is the "OMwF" poster, because you've got that in the background instead of something that could shill product for Fox. But that's "not helping", rather than "hurting", and I probably just put more thought into it than the writers, producers or the network.

Not even. It is helping FOX. FOX produces and profits from the BtVS DVDs.

This gets into the old FOX vs. 20th C. question.

There's a question? They're different, just like Warner Bros. Productions (which produces VM, by the by) is different from The WB. SO CONFUSING.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

What I think is truly bizarre is that when FOX airs a show that 20th produced (I think The Inside is one), they have to PAY THEMSELVES the licensing fees. (I think that's what they're called.)

Allyson, GREAT article. I especially like the part about thetruth.com.

Now see, that's the interesting question. I understand the production studio and the network are different, but how exactly are they related? Who's higher in the hierarchy? Who's got financial control? And is it the same for The WB/Warner Bros?

This is why Peter Jackson is suing Warner over LoTR. He's arguing that since Warner sold ancillary rights to LoTR to themselves instead of on the open market, the profits of which he gets a share of is much smaller than it would have been.

Right, but they're not going to get angry over the family getting a little time. It's not like Tim put "Joan of Arcadia" on the marquee.
