WORD.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

[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, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

And I think Nip/Tuck is more succesful than Bones.

I like David better. And Bones.
Nip/Tuck never really captured my interest.

I like them both for different reasons. One can be on my left and the other can be on my right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Cable successful is different, haven't we established that yet?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Charmed ran for like, 7 seasons. The showrunners have no reason to think they were doing a crap job since they kept getting renewed.
True. Er, I can't really counter that point as it is the bottom line I suppose.
And yeah, I totally gave my impressions as to why OOG worked, but that's just my feelings.
I still don't understand why - or indeed how - Charmed lasted 7 seasons.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It lasted because a bunch of people found it entertaining. It was sexy and easy to watch and wish-fulfilmenty.

Yes, but there have been many shows like that which didn't stick. I suppose they had the advantage of being on The WB.

That's why people go to the WB. To see young, sexy, pretty people, not that deep, and for the "wouldn't it be cool..." aspect. So it was a great fit.

Also true. So here's a question. What would have happened to Firefly if it went to The WB? I mean, aside from Paris Hilton guest starring.
