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.
And we live to fight another day.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
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.

Sorry to hear the news Tim. Like Wonderfalls, by the time the word was spread...If only there was a way to cut the networks out of the deal. Can you say what current contractual obligations are? Questions were raised elsewhere about rather or not you are "free". I loved the show and it will be missed as WF and FF are. Hope to see more from you soon. looking forward to the rest of this run and the DVDs.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I really, really want a series of The Inside novels, written by the show's writing team.
A script book would be most excellent. They read like wee pulp novels, so sexy and dark.
I've reread Declawed a few times, it's just that enjoyable.
