Cable successful is different, haven't we established that yet?
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

[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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
aside from Paris Hilton guest starring.

The Body made me cry. That was it.
The Prom made me cry (in a good way). "I can't breathe, Will".
I Will Remember You is the only Angel that made me cry -- "I felt your heart beat" *sigh*

I like David better. And Bones.
I like David better, but given a choice of which one to pull into a coat room and ravish, McMahon wins hands down.

you know, I think that I'll have to try both of them and let you know. I mean, I'd do that for the Buffistas.
