Thank you, Nilly. I wish you could have seen the shows too.

'War Stories'
[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.
Thank you, Nilly. I wish you could have seen the shows too.

Nilly -- always a pleasure! I've been thinking about you and holding good thoughts for you based on recent events in your part of the world. I know I'm not alone here -- not by a long shot -- in wishing safety for you and your family.
What Tim said. Oh my, what Tim said.
Has anyone heard from Allyson lately? What with the landlord not maintaining her apartment to minimum habitablity it is hard not to worry a bit - even though I know she has enough other stuff going on that it is surprising she makes time to post here at all.
she's alive and well!
Thanks.
Did we know about this?
Sci Fi is developing Witch Doctor, a dramedy from Ben Edlund that mixes the worlds of medicine and the supernatural with "warm human comedy.
It was mentioned in THR as part of an article about NBC/Universal.
Matt mentioned it over in the boxed set thread. That description makes me rethink what the show's about based on the title.
I'm trying to think how they pitched this.
"It's House, plus the X-Files, plus 7th Heaven!"
I emailed my doctor friend about Witch Doctor and she is a leeetle excited about it:
that is fuckin' awesome! That should be the show's motto: "Witch Doctor: It's fuckin' awesome!" Seriously though - fuckin' awesome!!!
(she actually stole the motto from an idea I presented to our mayor at a bar a couple of years ago: "Baltimore--It's Fucking Awesome". They decided to pay some "consultant" 1/2 a million dollars to come up with "Baltimore--Get in on it". I'm a little bitter.)
