Of course, everyone who saw the show is here in this thread, so maybe it's not so surprising it was cancelled. BUT STILL.

I saw all the original episodes as they aired. How many was that? 4?

I was definitely hooked.

I liked it a lot, though I didn't have the "OMG! I must organize my life around this show RIGHT NOW!" reaction I later had toward Buffy and a couple of subsequent shows.

I should really get my hands on the DVDs, but I kind of don't want to wreck the memory of my and my roommate sitting there with our mouths open.

Funny Matt, but you made me realize that Buffy wasn't the first show I had that reaction to. The first was probably Twin Peaks, the second was The X-Files. I loved Profit, but I do recall thinking after the first episode that the show was a gonner.

Boy, got to this party late. I wanted to say publically that Bryan Fuller wrote the "Wonderfalls" pilot. All Bryan. That show was his voice, then, and I think he'd say this too, ours together after that. In terms of "Wax Lion" I helped him work out solutions to the network notes for the final cut, but it was oh-so-minor.

Bryan and I had never worked together before "Wonderfalls," but he knew who I was and kept insisting that I was the guy for the job. We basically became writing partners for those 12 episodes after the pilot. The fact that we clicked from the start was just good luck. Very good luck. I'll add that Todd Holland was no small creative force in the shaping of those scripts as well. It was really a three-way. So to speak.

So Matt, if you didn't like "Karma," you don't have to feel guilty. My name was on two scripts, Bryan's I think was on two or three after the pilot, but we both did a hell of a lot more writing on the show than those episodes. There wasn't a script that one of both of us didn't touch in large ways.

Also, Nilly, I'm not ignoring your e-mail of several days ago. I'm almost done reading it.

Also, you're a queer one, Julie Jordan.

nevermind

You want bad? We were reading Eugene O'Neill, I think, in high school, and the dying hero was talking about watching the fairies calling him to come be gay with them.

It was bad. In retrospect, I feel sorry for the teacher.

Tim! you have your Big Thing tonight, yes? I meant to knit you a tinfoil hat (not out of real tinfoil, but you know, silver yarn) as a protective measure, but life is not allowing me much time or focus to do anything. I still have to finish the baby blanket by Friday.

Anyhow, I thought of you because I ran into Warner Brother's PA who was trying to pretend he was an executive producer. I sort of smacked him down (I was highly caffeinated at the time). you would have laughed.
