I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

Buffy ,'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.

If I only had a brain...

They had to know this in the air by then, right?

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".

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Same here. I spare my rage for the network.

If nothing else, the craxy of the Dark Angel fans turned me off the idea before I even had it.

I was very sad when they moved GG to Tuesday away from Thursday -- it made it more difficult for me to keep watching, but I kept watching.

I think that GG/VM would be a good combination and I've always thought that Smallville/Supernatural was a natural combo -- much more so than GG/Supernatural and Smallville/Everwood.

I didn't like reading (in the MSNBC article) that the GG creators might be leaving the show.

I'm not usually, either. I think I was probably looking for one last reason to hate the frog.

"…one less major buyer, fewer shows, fewer choices, fewer jobs. And no one’s getting fat ‘cept Mama Cass."

Considering the growing amount of original scripted programming on basic & premium cable, I have a hard time taking this as a sign of the end times.

He certainly doesn't know quality when he sees it, or he wouldn't have cancelled "Freaks & Greeks" when he worked at NBC.

I'm not sure what one has to do with the other.

Williamson's show is "about a troubled teen who moves to a gated community in Palm Springs where he uncovers some dark secrets." That's another one that was given a pilot order last week.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Can we have an untroubled teen who discovers some dark secrets?

Or was that 21 Jump Street ?

She was often troubled.

She was often troubled.

Yeah, but I think that was mostly after discovering the dark secrets.
