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.
Angel: How're you feeling? Faith: Like I did mushrooms and got eaten by a bear.
'A Hole in the World'
The Minearverse 4: Support Group for Clumsy People
[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.

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.

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

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
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.

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.
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?

Lost is on Channel 4 and E4 in the UK (or will be very soon), just to clarify. They are planning a media blitz before it starts in August.
FoxBC: take note here. CINEMA ADVERTS. "Media blitz".
