Was there ever any decision with regards to The Inside DVDs? Did I miss the memo?
I believe that somewhere upthread Tim said that there weren't going to be dvds.
UTTAD, according to Tim Minear "The Minearverse 4: Support Group for Clumsy People" Oct 24, 2005 7:20:19 pm PDT :
So far, no plans for "The Inside" DVDs, alas.

they have, I guess, run some sort of numbers and have decided that the 30 million or whatever they ended up spending on our little show would be better spoken of no more. It's too bad, because the last handful, about half the run, that didn't air are all pretty much "Aidan" quality bitty short stories but with tasty theme-threads.
Oh, I remembered something funny from the Expo. There was an idea that, in addition to the Cordelia meets her dream man thing, Angel and Cordelia should switch bodies. I can't remember if it was Angel-as-Cordy or Cordy-as-Angel going on the dream date. But I do remember Tim's response.
"Because the show wasn't gay enough."
I always thought they missed a huge opportunity by not picking those two as the body-switch participants when they finally got around to doing that in an episode. Just think of the fun of two incredibly vain, willful people grousing about having to learn whole new grooming regimens. Plus, Angel going on another "I can taste food again!" pig-out and Cordelia's reaction to the effect the calories would have on her body.
It occurs to me that DB playing Cordelia would bear a strong resemblance to his performance as Evil Angel circa Buffy Season 2, minus the body count.
"Because the show wasn't gay enough."
I heart my Tim. And my dead gay show.
I'm not sure I like this Cafe.com wireless. Though, seriously cheaper than SBC. Plus I have a long standing hate affair with SBC. Anyway...

There is a whole lot of funny in the idea.
And okay. Am I seriously listening to Tony Bennett covering Nirvana?
ETA: Sorry, no. I am listening to Paul Anka channeling Tony Bennett covering Nirvana. And, now, Van Halen.
And Sting! He covers Sting channeling Ann Rice, too.
