'Serenity'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
Tim, how much more would it suck if TV DVDs weren't the nifty trend they've become? It seems cool that we're entering a time where cancelled material (or hell, even unaired material like the GF pilot) can find a rabid appreciative fanbase.
Hooray for the Long Tail!
Bugger.
Sorry to hear that they've emptied yet another great show.
Aw Tim. I really liked this week's episode. The others were good too, but not as great as the last one. Nevertheless, The Inside was on my TiVo Season Pass list (and Dacing with the B-Listers is nowhere to be found there).
Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to get at is keep making new shows, and I'll keep showing up to watch them.
Happy Independence Day!

Sorry about the news. I thought the last episode was really good.
So hoping that there's a sudden and unexplainable mini-boom among the viewers during the next few weeks and that the Inside will be back with a second season next summer is both really naïve and a self-tortureish thing to wish for?
Damn.
Tim, I've really enjoyed following you from hard-drinking space western to a hard-drinking whimsical comedy to a hard-drinking abyss-peering noir. Unfortunately, the inability of good shows to stay on television may just lead me to hard drinking. I hope you get a new project soon, mostly so I can watch it. It's all about me.
I'm just numb. I continue to faithfully watch and pimp each new Minear show, but unfortunately I'm not at all surprised at this news. I like that Tim thinks about it as BBC-type miniseries DVD box sets. And I hate the masses.
The unwashed masses.
With their endless CSIs and L&Os. And their insipid reality shows. And their brainless laugh-tracked formulaic half-hour comedies.
Wow, this is making me bitter.
Ginger and Wolfram, thanks both. I do think good shows can stay on television. But they have to be launched. And it can be done. It's a network's job to bring the audience, it's our job to keep that audience and grow it. I've just had more bad launches than the space shuttle program. And re-entry is a bitch.
