Excellent news. And this:
By the way, the network is totally behind this. The enthusiasm and support has been hard and long term. From the studio as well. The true believers never gave up and that's why we went from a soft "pass" to a starting pistol.
Makes me feel even better. People, start your engines!
Happy Birthday Present, Tim.
Amusingly enough, the Variety article quotes the network as wanting to recast a couple of roles.
Silly network, don't they know this is Tim? He can have all those pesky characters die in a multi car pileup in the second episode and bring in new characters.
Why recast when you can have a massacre?
Whoohoo! New Tim show! Another opportunity to win toasters. Of which, I deserve one for converting a coworker over to
The Inside.
I'm not sure what I'll do with all those toasters, maybe I'll start a restaurant that specializes in breakfast only, with as many edible substances you can spread on toast.
Tim is the King
And yet, not the boss of us.
Tim is the King
Um, it's good to be the King?
Yesterday was fun. Today just sucks. Halloween is fucking with me.
Though I'm seeing the Drive story everywhere on the internet so at least that's cool.
ETA: Also, I find it funny that Variety reports there may be recasting on Drive and Hollywood Reporter reports that there won't be.
Here's something to cheer people up: screen cap from Heroes.. [link]
