I've always felt slightly guilty that one of Tim's episodes of Wonderfalls was my least favorite. But he has very few misfires among all the jewels of screenwriting (even fewer than Joss, IMHO).

Someone should make that into a movie that doesn't suck.

Who'd have thought Chuck Jones had it in him to screw it up that badly. In retrospect, though, not a good match with the material - Terry Gilliam or Tim Burton has a better sensibility for it, I think.

I never feel guilt if I don't like something Tim has written/directed. I do feel irrationally protective when other people don't like something he did.

Sort of like a Browncoat. A Timcoat. A Technicolor Timcoat of Many Colors.

Why the guilt, Matt?

I dunno, really. I felt no twinges of it about busting on Angel Season 3, but then again I already had a long history as a viewer of the show and was deeply invested when it temporarily went south. Maybe since the specific episodes of that show that made me see red didn't have Tim's writing credit on them, it's the feeling that I was being critical of his creative writing work on "Karma Chameleon" rather than stuff he was overseeing as the big boss.

I was thinking about The Inside and Wonderfalls and TMIAHM, and wondering if maybe I couldn't be entirely objective about my love for those projects

I rarely completely dislike Tim's work. I'll dislike specific things, which can be minor (But why does he have a yellow pen?) or not minor (simulated bliss? WTF?), but usually I like the thing as a whole. I'm not sure if it's because a) the things that Tim finds interesting when telling a story are the same things I find interesting, b) I like Tim and am, therefore, predisposed towards liking his stuff, or c) I'm a suck up. Maybe it's a combo.

By the time we got to Wonderfalls, I stopped looking at the credits. I think Tim had a major hand in pretty much everything but two.

Did he just do a bit of tightening up after the fact on "Wax Lion"? I may be in error, but I always felt that Bryan Fuller's voice was the predominant one in the pilot.

The pilot was one of the two I was referring to. I can't remember the name of the other one now.

Sing Andrew Lloyd Webber, Allyson, and dearly as I love you, we cross swords.

Aw, come on. Joseph is fun Lloyd Webber! Except maybe for "Close Every Door." It's Biblical history and a show all in one!
