Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

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 may have to seize the cat.

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?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

Well that sucks. Learn from your mistakes. Next time, include lots of dancing people. Last week's was really good, and I finally got someone who hates TV to watch it, and he liked it, too. When can you get another show that stays on tv? Soon please, I'm sick of those other horrible shows. I'll never get over Fox getting rid of all of these good shows. Every single time I start to like a show, it goes away. Firefly, Dead Like Me, Wonderfalls, Boomtown, Angel, Tru Calling, and now the Inside. I want more good shows, try to make another show with Katie Finneran, please. Heee, wouldn't that be fun if it were that easy?
