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.

[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.

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

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.

I swear, I'm going to get banned from every board that isn't this one. Ima kill the Monday morning quarterbacks who know SO MUCH MORE about what Tim should have done, how he should think, blah blah blah.
Although, he really should toss all those Autumn colors in his wardrobe. He's most definately a Winter.
And I should stop reading other boards.

Allyson, stay away from other boards. Stay here. I can throw large paragraphs at your screen, if it may help.

You know, I've been meaning to mention that.
He totally clashes with the beagles too.

I totally had to walk away from places earlier. Probably the same places.
I just don't get some people. Like, if someone tells me they got fired or laid off or something, I'm not going to say, "Oh I'm really sorry to hear that. But, honestly, I've always thought you were an idiot so I think it's for the best." Or if you say your grandmother died, I don't think an appropriate response is, "Sorry to hear that. But you know she smelled funny."
I have no nice response to any of them. Except, of course...

Allyson, Kristen, may I just join to those who want some sort of Allyson-and-Kristen show, to go along with, well, the DVDs of the actual Tim show? Because if I can't watch anything with you, at least I can enjoy your wit and spicy brains.
[Edit: it's not helping much, is it? Sorry. I just don't understand people, too.]

Aww, Nilly. I'd love to do a DVD commentary! I do that that the studio would not be so enthused. But I'll talk along with my DVDs at home so it'll be all interactive and stuff.
Should be noted that Buffy would have been canceled after four episodes if it aired on FOX, today. And then there'd be no Buffistas at all.
So sad.
