Think of yourself rather as having the ability to get your friends' pilots picked up, even if your power doesn't actually include the back nine.
I love the glass-half-fullness of this.
Sadly, I lack even that superpower.
I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

Emily's Reasons Why Not has been cancelled. It's official. I'm a curse. And that's the fastest it's ever worked. Usually my friends can get four episodes off.
As I said on TwoP, when Fox Network execs are scratching their heads and wondering how ABC could demonstrate so little support for a new show, you know there's a problem.
I expect to tune in to some new sitcom next year and find out that it's been cancelled during the commercial break after the teaser.

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
Can I suggest that you not watch Tim's new show, and I'll just tape it for you and you can watch em all after it's on for at least two years?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Two? From one showing?

How will I be compensated?
I think I have the world's lamest OCD. I just had to wash my keyboard. So now I'm using a backup. Which could do with a bit of a clean itself, but I'd rather take a little faux-nap before my 3pm meeting.

I thought my show-killer mojo had faded with Lost and Desperate Housewives becoming hits last year and Stargate: Atlantis becoming a solid success for its genre. But new shows I watch are crashing and burning with frightening speed this midseason.
Note to self: Begin watching Fox reality programs religiously.

I need to free myself of this curse before Eureka airs, or I might be down one best friend.

Yes. How's that for irritating beyond all get out? Normally I pay by check and I write "EXTORTION" in the memo line. But today, it was pay by web.

Hmm. Thats a good place to open negotiations...
How's that for irritating beyond all get out?
Oh, very. I'm surprised that hasn't happened to me in Westwood yet, but these days I avoid everything other than the medical centre with its own parking structure. Last parking ticket was Santa Monica, but it was a lovely afternoon out, so it was almost worth it.
