I've just had more bad launches than the space shuttle program. And re-entry is a bitch.

Aside from the great TV you make Tim, it's sentences like this that make me love you so.

Not really sure what to say concerning the news of the seeming non-future of The Inside, other than that it sucks. I can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoyed every one of the first four episodes - which is more than can be truthfully said for many other shows that I watch.

Maybe if that "everything happens in threes" saying is actually true, then soon we'll all have three wonderful DvD boxsets on our shelves (Firefly/Wonderfalls/The Inside), and your next show will run and run and run.

Pleased to hear that episode 13 won't leave us hanging, at least.

So...where do I sign the petition for this Allyson/Kristen Buffista DvD commentary???

You know, I'm very frustrated by the British short series ...

Me too ita. Though I'll admit there was a certain satisfying quality to the recent Doctor Who being a nice self-contained 13-episode season/arc/story. Of course, there will be at least another two "short series" of that, so it's possibly not a very good example.

Lost is getting CINEMA ADVERTS before WAR OF THE WORLDS in the UK at the moment.

They are? Must remember to go and see War Of The Worlds then I guess....

Also? Condolences to Auntie Allyson. *hugs*

What everyone else said on the condolences front, both for Tim, and for those of us pulling for it. I've been trying to do a lot of "don't jinx it" thoughts, but, deep down, there were a few warning flags that pinged me to be ready for this.

Oh well, I'm in for whatever Fox is willing to air.

Should we start calling you Tim M1n3ar?

Oh, and I was in total amazement when I saw the media blitz The Closer was getting compared to The Inside. Makes me sad.

Should we start calling you Tim M1n3ar?

Tim Monenthreear! King of Middle-Earth!

Tim Monenthreear!

Hahahaha! Blast, you turned my own joke against me! Now I lose mental credit for making the original joke in the first place!

Tim, I had occasion to interview David Fury in the spring and he said he was coming by The Inside to do some story breaking/writing/etc. Did it ever get that far? Did he write anything that got produced?

jengod, it was my understanding that Fury's TI time was for this first 13 episodes, so I think he had a hand in things. Others would know better than I, of course.

I just spent the afternoon with someone who had never heard of Dancing With The Stars, and didn't actually believe me that (a) it exists and (b) is a huge hit. Sadly, he had never heard of The Inside, either.

Tim, don't take this wrong way, but I'm beginning to think of your shows as haiku -- short-lived and beautiful.

Of course now they need to let you have a "Beowulf" for a while.

Maybe you could re-tool as a reality show, Tim.

Hire a REAL LIVE kidnap victim and replace Rebecca. Or, better yet, keep the whole cast and each week snatch an actual human. It'll be on the news (if you stick with pretty blondes) that's all sorts of great free publicity. And then when they "find" the "victim" you give them a makeover, a book deal, and an episode of Oprah.
