Tamara, yes. I checked with FOX's staff on Friday -- it should be up on FOX's VOD site on Monday. Standard disclaimer applies: it's possible they told me fibs.
ETA: it will only play on Windows XP (or Vista), apparently. And only in the US.
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

[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.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

My link seems to work better for me. Maybe it is a US/UK thing.

Drive's on the front page of Yahoo today. There's also ads on FSN, and a long promo no the TV guide channel. I know the download thing is a touchy subject, but it's got 10 times the amount of downloads The Inside ever got -- and this isn't even on the air yet. Would be really surprised now if this isn't, in fact, TV's hit Drive.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'd love to know if Drive is sponsored by car makers. I actually suspect it's not, so the point is null and void.
Honestly I wouldn't care if it was. It'd just be very effective product placement.

What happened to the beagles?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Every time I've ever noticed the brand of a car on TV, it's been a Ford, so I suspect they are very active in product placement deals. "Sponsored" is probably too strong a word for it, but I wouldn't be surprised if many of the cars were donations in exchange for screen time -- most featured onscreen cars (TV and movies) are. Cars are expensive.

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
I think some of the cars were donated, Jessica. IIRC.
The beagles. Well. The beagles were retired in favor of a sexier, flashier logo.
Sad am I. But still, it's a better logo, mine was pretty ghetto.

Swouncing
It's silly to be excited about the beginning of a TV show in a country I don't live in, when I'm too prude to ahem it, and have no idea when I'm actually going to see it, right?
Well, so what. It's fun to be excited.
Especially since, thanks to the great people here, I got to see several of the promos and stuff (thanks, you guys!) and got to be excited with some content, not just excited on principle, so to speak, because it's Tim and it's Kristen, but because it really looks intriguing and characters to play with and is it the finish line that matters or the road to it and things going vroom vroom very quickly and, well, um. Anyway.
So I'm all "Yeah, you need to know the date on Tuesday? Well, I don't need to check, I know it has to be the 17th" out loud, but in my head I add "because I know that Sunday is the 15th, because there's this TV show that starts then". And e-mails to Israeli friends who know "Angel" and "Firefly" and "Wonderfalls" enough to know Tim's name with "He has a new show!" and I even write to some of them "and an internet friend of mine is working on it, too!", just because I like writing this sentence so much.
Oh, and "My town is going to get posts again!" - but that I say only here, because it's the only place in the world that will understand what it means.
So, anyway, good luck tonight!
