Damn. I was just starting to really like The Inside. I'm sorry, Tim. Are you fairly confident that there will be a DVD release?

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.

Ooh! Except I don't have a CD player either. No, seriously. I HAVE NOTHING. Heh. I play my CDs in my DVD player or my computer. But you're right, CD players are cheaper than iPods.

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.

Wait, seriously? That's the entirety of The Office ? Fourteen episodes? Wow. I do need to check that out eventually.

even though i've already seen Lost, i'll be watching it again when it is broadcast.. i'm the same with most of the tv shows i aquire.. ;)..

and whoever said about a proper iMP for tv... well the BBC are trialling something in the UK where we will have access to the backcatalogue starting in September (as a trial) and i don't know when as a general thing... so i'm sure in the US they are thinking about doing it, but it is just time...

Tim, sorry to hear about the unpleasant writing on the wall. But if it's any consolation you do keep dependably putting out great product that you can be proud of and for which lots of us are very grateful.

And the pans were generally dismissive and not unlike the pans Firefly and Wonderfalls got.

Wonderfalls got bad reviews, aside from Pamie's recaps? I must have missed them entirely, as my impression was it was better-loved by critics than even Buffy.

I HAVE NOTHING.

Do you have friends? You could maybe borrow a CD player. Of course, if you don't have friends, you might want to get some BEFORE you ask to borrow their stuff.

Yeah, I think it was a real critical darling for its short existence, and it's still constantly referred to as an example of a great show that didn't get its due.

But making friends is hard work, Kiba. Can't I just steal things?

Polter-Cow i have a cd player i don't use.. you want?

oh. but you ain't my friend...

we really don't make our own good quality tv

I know I'm behind the times, since I depend mainly on BBC America, but I love(d):

• Coupling
• Spooks
• Shameless
• Second Sight
• Wire In The Blood

Those I'd call good, or more than. I also enjoy(ed) Red Cap, Murder In Suburbia, Night Detective, Murphy's Law -- off the top of my head. Obviously it's a hugely filtered list, but if I add up the past three years of US/UK TV, the UK is disproportionately represented in my estimation.

I could be your friend...for a price...of a CD player.
