What if some soul (not me, because I am too old and tired) decides to take a Don Quixote stab at saving the show?
Would that serve anything other than crashing face-first into a windmill?

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

"Don' be e-scared"
Allsyon, I discourage strongly any save-this-show attempts by anyone. It would be pointless and a waste of time.

Just to add -- I'm always looking out for the audience. Like Wonderfalls, episode 13 will not leave you hanging. I'm always workin' for the DVD, babe.

Tim, I'm truly sorry to hear they aren't picking up more episodes. But, I'm still happy that you got to make it for us to see, I hope it does eventually come out on DVD and if you set up your own BBC, I will watch all Tim, all the time.

Thanks for that.
And I'm sorry. I loved this, and will go insane waiting to see them all.

I don't think anyone really cares as long as it works.
I hate to hear this Tim. I'm liking The Inside even more than Firefly or Wonderfalls. I wonder if this would be the case if it hadn't aired against Dancing With The Stars? Bah.
Is "..Harsh Mistress" very far away?

Friends don't let friends dismiss Veronica Mars unjustly.
Glad to hear that your 13-episode pattern doesn't discourage, Tim. And I absolutely treasure my Wonderfalls DVDs and would be sad if they didn't exist, so thanks.
I still think it's a shame that the timeframe for big success is so tiny in TV today, and I'm slightly baffled at how often paid-for episodes aren't even aired. But that's the way it works, I guess.

Allyson, my guess is you'll end up seeing them sooner rather than later. Editing "Litte Girl Lost" and "Gem" now... they rock. Hee hee.

So yummy.

Well, if we do get DVDs rather than more TV episodes at least that means we get nifty commentary. Right, Tim? Right?
I know some folks aren't about the commentary, but Firefly, Wonderfalls, The Simpsons and Futurama have made me rabid about them.
