You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

"…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.

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.

Think of them darkly?

Sounds like they are trying to cross THE OC with...I dunno...VM or LOST depending on how dark (weird) the secrets are.

The point I was trying to make was that I don't think Garth Ancier has a clue about anything, and probably didn't have a clue that the WB would be no more when he and Janollari ordered those two pilots. Unfortunately, Strega, some of my lingering disgust toward the man crept in.

Five years later, and I still can't let go. Why?
