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.

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.

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.

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.

Oh yeah. Good point. She seemed rather... untroubled... in that flashback where she met her first watcher.

There's a lesson in all this. Dark secrets are troubling to teens. Think of the children.
