I think they'd be more stoked if I could, you know, write.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

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 imagine that things that were in development are still in development. Just fewer of them will actually get made. Let's see, the WB ordered pilots for "Cult" and "Juniper Hall" last week. They had to know this in the air by then, right? And UPN is/was getting something from Kevin Williamson, god help us all.
Oooh, and there's a show from Harley Peyton in development. They should make that! I decree it!

Life is eternal, Love is immortal, and death is only an illusion.

Strawberry disappointment.
This news is in this thread because they're going to celebrate the new channel by renewing Wonderfalls, right? Right?
And let's lob The Inside and Firefly in there while we're at it. Fuckit, Angel too.

Wednesday: Veronica Mars/Supernatural
Any potential line-ups I've read report Dawn Ostroff (that's the right name, right?) is looking to have Gilmore Girls lead into Veronica Mars, I think on a different night, but I disremember which one.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
Tuesday nights, which would be VM's original day and GG would remain where it is in the line-up. i think GG/VM makes more sense than VM/Supernatural. plus, it would get VM out of competition with Lost, Bones and Law and Order.

tiggy, do you watch GG? I never have. It took over the sacred time slot, and I was mad at the WB for killing the Bronze early, and yes, otherwise totally irrational.
I would love to get VM off of the same night as Lost. I think VM would appeal to some viewers who just found Lost first, and stuck with it, and don't have the ability or can't be arsed to watch one, and record the other, since they aren't (yet) fans of VM.

If I only had a brain...

In the computer industry -- dunno about television -- you proceed internally as if no merger were planned right up to the announcement, and even after. People would rather waste money than wind up losing momentum on projects that could turn out to be important. Many speeches are given to the effect of "Keep right on with what you're doing up until we lay you off".

yep. i've watched GG since the beginning. i'm more of a casual viewer though and not at all involved in the fandom.
i'm not someone who blames the shows filling the timeslot. if i did that, i wouldn't have watched some good shows.
