Bugger.
Sorry to hear that they've emptied yet another great show.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Strawberry disappointment.

We're all fate's bitch. You might as well go ahead and bend over for destiny now.
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!

The evil is this way?
Sorry about the news. I thought the last episode was really good.

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."
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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
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.

Friends don't let friends dismiss Veronica Mars unjustly.
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.

"Don' be e-scared"
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.

With their endless CSIs
Hey now, don't hate the player, hate the game.
