'Out Of Gas'
[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.
The word "descommentisados" just popped into my head. Must. Scrub. Brain.
P-C, this is why I proposed a format other than/in addition to podcast - ogg or mp3 or whathaveyou. Because THAT could be turned into an audio CD, and CD players are significantly cheaper than iPods.
it's been so long since I wrote for Buffy anyway.
Snerk! I'm used to us plebeians making that joke but it's 30% funnier from Tim.
But I don't have an iPod either!
Um, turn the volume on the TV way up, and the volume on the PC way up, and sit halfway between them. Problem solved!
On the UK TV thing, I know my first exposure was when I checked out "The Office" on DVD. The "first series" and "second series" were each 6 episodes, and then they also made a 2-episode special.
I was initially perturbed, but (at least for The Office) it actually ended up working really well. It would have gotten stale with 22 episodes, and they tied up everything neatly with their 14, so I wasn't too hungry for more when it was done. It's an amazingly different approach from US TV, though.
Lost is getting CINEMA ADVERTS before WAR OF THE WORLDS in the UK at the moment. Specially shot adverts. With the cast.
Channel 4 are airing it.
They won't fund my original drama, though.
Kevin.. I really can't think of anything UK based that I actually watched apart from Dr Who.. (which cost around 26500 tv licence fees!)
Shameless on C4 is a good example of something lasting (however i don't watch it cos i don't think it is that good), but we really don't make our own good quality tv... it is a shame really IMHO (i'm not really that humble though)
I've just had more bad launches than the space shuttle program. And re-entry is a bitch.
OK, this made me laugh and laugh and laugh, in a really dark way. Because see, I might get laid off this week related to this very problem (and a few others. But this took a big bite.)
Mister Tim has that effect. The laughter, that is. Not crashes.
Kevin.. i thought it was E4 it was going to be on...
a format other than/in addition to podcast
Well, most podcasts I've been exposed to are nothing more than downloadable MP3s. The thing that makes them "podcasts" is an RSS feed you can subscribe to that delivers new episodes as they're recorded.
"Podcast" by itself doesn't really imply any particular format.
People are offering me condolences.
I do feel like the show's Auntie Allyson. I didn't have anything to do with it, but I have a ton of wallet sized photos and took it out for ice cream and M&Ms a whole lot.
Tim- sorry about the bad news. Gotta say how to you begin to write for a people who prefer Dancing with the Stars? Something I don't get about FOX is that they have a cable network in F/X that shows like The Inside, Wonderfalls or Firefly might have found a home. Where's the foward thinking? NBC is airing episodes of Battlestar Galactica.
"buffistentaries"
Can we find another word? This sounds a little like a digestive disease.
Snark?
