The Mayor ,'End of Days'
[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.
Boyfriend's reaction was one of the resignation that comes with having shows you like disappear. (He didn't make it through more than 2 eps of Wonderfalls. He didn't like Jaye.) Still sad to see it go, and I expect boyfriend's roommate will be sad to hear it as well, when she gets home.
I really, really want a series of The Inside novels, written by the show's writing team.
I want The Inside breakfast cereal.
Okay, that was silly.
Shouldn't that be breakfast serial, P-C?
I couldn't resist. It was too easy.
Well played, Kiba. Well played.
When I saw the ratings for 'Dancing With the Stars' my heart sank for the show.
Why do all the good shows die young?
Well, the house I'm staying this summer now officially has three people mourning in it. But it's very subdued mourning.
Mostly we're just all, "Man. I hate when this stuff happens."
Mostly we're just all, "Man. I hate when this stuff happens."
I hate how used I'm getting to having the rug pulled out from under shows I like. I remember being here on the boards and being upset over Firefly, but now it's just, "There goes another one."
When I saw 100 msgs in this thread, I knew the bad news had been confirmed.
*sigh*
Sad now, though not surprised. I figured it was coming when I read about the Dancing with the Stars juggernaut.
The thing I don't get about FOX is that even though a ton of people had said they wouldn't give the show a chance just because it was only a 13 ep. committment and was on FOX who has a reputation of not letting shows develop and giving a quick hook they turn around and justify that line of reasoning. Every time they do it they make it that much harder for the next new FOX show to succeed.
Tim, do the networks decide that your shows are just adverts for the forthcoming DVDs?
Last year a friend & I were speculating that this is The Future, especially with declining audiences and the networks more interested in co-owning the shows they air. More short-run, low-cost series aired with an eye toward luring DVD buyers. Apply the singles/album concept to television shows, basically.
