What happened to the beagles?

[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 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!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Bwah, did anybody else see Nathan's appearance on FOX News today?

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'll have to look for it on YouTube. I don't watch Fox News.

Our wings are not tired.
I love Nathan, but not enough to watch Fox News in the morning. Blessing YouTube in advance for saving me the trouble.

There's a bit of sponsorship on IMDB today, then: [link]

Nathan on FOX News was bwah worthy for the fact he managed to spell most of a four letter naughty word.

My local reviewer loved Drive. I was pleased, as she has awesome taste in TV, except for those times when she doesn't like what I like, because I'm clearly correct, of course.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Dude, you think that's bad, check out the New York Times review, which spends the entire time talking about the fact that people drive cars and cars are evil and Tim Minear is a jingoistic bastard who wants people to only buy American.
Didn't see that until later yesterday, and, yeah, I kinda boggled at how TV's Hit DRIVE is apparently a series-length commercial or something.
Can we get NF to say "take the F-150" like they did on ALIAS? That still sets the bar for blatant car-centric product placement in my experience.
