[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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I think it's Survivor : Lost :: The Amazing Race : Drive. But I don't know what the hell I'm talking about, so factor that in.
Oo, they should recycle the theme song from Hardcastle & McCormick!

I do not think you're wrong, Strega. I'm pretty sure that was how it was described to me when I first heard about it.
And I never watched Hardcastle & McCormick but, for some reason, the title is making me think of that other show. With the two cops who were secretly married and a had a hidden door connecting their apartments...
Damnit. What show was that?

We've cast two amazing women, Emily Stone and Melanie Lynskey. More news as it happens.
I work for a huge Melanie Lynskey fan.
I expect I'll be hearing "burbleburblecastinnewthing!" on Monday.
That's pretty swell.

Oh god. I know what you're talking about. Crap, what was it called?
I didn't watch H&M, but it was on after something that I did watch, and I would listen to the theme song before changing channels. Because it rocked! For the 80s.

A HA! MacGruder and Loud. Thank god. That was seriously bugging me, yo.
In related H&M news, I'm got tickets to the Stephen Cannell panel thing at the WGA. I'm so excited!
Strega - Mar 18, 2006 10:26:12 pm PST #8889 of 10001
Ha! And damn! I just found it myself and you beat me by 3 minutes. Curses.
On the bright side, now I can sleep.
Oo, what is the panel? Cannell always seems like a neat guy in interviews.

On Thursday March 30, Stephen will discuss experiences and insights from his illustrious career along with his close friends and associates he has worked with over the years. This will be followed by a one-on-one question and answer forum. The evening will conclude with a reception in the theater lobby.
Panelists will include: Tom Selleck, Michael Chiklis, Jeff Goldblum, Len Hill, Charles Johnson, Tawnia McKiernan, David Greenwalt, Don Michael Paul, Stepfanie Kramer, and Mario Van Peebles.
He does seem cool in interviews. (I have a PDF of an online writing seminar he did and it's fun.) And a lot of people that have worked with him say nice things about him.
It occurs to me that he was probably the first TV writer whose name I knew. Because he had that little thing at the end with him at the typewriter and the piece of paper that turned into his logo. I think that I probably watched a lot of Cannell Productions shows when I was a kid.

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.
How is it it's been so long since Cannell's had a show on television?
Is he retired?
Kristen - Mar 18, 2006 10:56:52 pm PST #8892 of 10001
He sold his production company a few years back. I think he's mainly focused on writing novels these days.
