because it's been so long since I wrote for Buffy anyway.
::sigh::
It was really some of your best work too, Tim...
Snark aside (is that even possible here?), I am disappointed that all signs point to no for
The Inside
continuing, but still comforted that it looks like the DVDs won't be a battle. Shows I really enjoy watching don't tend to be shows that the masses support. I think the masses are wrong but the studios, they disagree.
and took it out for ice cream and M&Ms a whole lot.
Now I want ice cream treats. (For dog's sake, if you are going to mistype that, don't do it the way I originally did. Twice. Because ewww, sticky and cold.)
I think there might be a market for ice cream treats in that shape.
I'd love to hear the Allyson and Kristen show.
Thanks, Matt. And yeah, while most of the reviews for "Wonderfalls" were really positive, the Hollywood Reporter and Variety both panned it. In fact, their pans for "The Inside" were actually more positive.

How funny. The targets for the VM and FF SOS campaigns, respectively.
Allyson and Kristen should SO make a web-show thing. I'd do all the techie bits.
West Wing is aired on Channel 4 and E4 here, and does quite well. We have, off the top of my head, currently: Scrubs (on about 8 times a week now), Friends (on about 8 times a week STILL), Six Feet Under, Without A Trace, all the CSIs, Wonderfalls, Firefly, Dead Like Me, 24, X-Files, Huff, Law and Order and House.
Original drama wise, I'm currently watching "Sugar Rush", a UK thing about a 15 year old girl's life. It airs at 11pm, and there's no way it'd air in the US I suspect (she's Bi, does drugs, and is pretty much an a-typical UK teenager).
ETA: I just noticed how much current UK TV Tim has a hand in.
I love a man who can say, "That pan was better than the last pan."
I'm not one to denigrate shows like Law & Order, which I also watch. It's tightly written and well acted. L&O: CI is actually pretty damn quirky. It's just that the focused stand-alone episodes are easier for the occasional TV watcher to watch. I'm not a reality show fan, because I like shows with actual writers and actors. If I wanted to watch unscripted stupidity, I could get to know my next-door neighbor better.

Amen. The place I lived post-college totally dissipated any appeal Cops might have had for me, as the guest cast seemed to live on my street.
One of the fans reactions to the news:
" I hope FOX gets eaten by a 900 lb cannibal. *fumes*"
Heh.
I liked some of the other shows from the UK too. (As well as all of the ones ita mentioned) Jonathan Creek, As time goes by (a sitcom starring Dame Judi Dench!), At Home With the Braithwaites (talk about dysfunctional families) etc.
Tim, do the networks decide that your shows are just adverts for the forthcoming DVDs? Pisses me off. Still, I will buy them. ESPECIALLY for the commentaries. (I have all of the aired eps on Do Not Delete on the Tivo.)
While FOX can be blamed a tiny bit for being impatient and wanting results now-now-now -- they're not alone in this as it's something in todays the television business at the moment -- really, I think they've gotten way better with their shows. Despite all things, didn't they actually promote the Inside unlike the other cancelled shows? And they gave it what appeared to be a good timeslot. If they majority of the viewers choose to watch people dancing for hours or a re-run of L&O, what can you do? Especially the dance thing, I can't believe they got that many viewers.
