Buffistas

Willow: That's a work ethic! Buffy, you're developing a work ethic! Buffy: Do they make an ointment for that?

'Beneath You'

The Minearverse 5: Closer to the Earth, Further from the Ax

[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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Personally I think Drive looks bad for FOX due to the nature of launching yet-another big show, and yet again having it fall over straight away if they put House in it's place.

I think those things may end up being bad for the executive(s) who green lighted it, but I don't think it affects the network per se, other than influencing what they are going to green light the next time. It's not that they'll think "gee, maybe we should give the next one like that a chance to find it's audience", it's going to be more "well, let's not do THAT again".

Kristen wrote 106, so I'm pleading with the universe that they air them all.

If the schedule doesn't change Allyson, when is 1.06 supposed to air? I'm so excited for it.

when is 1.06 supposed to air?

According to Monique's site, May 7. I'm excited from a whole ocean away.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

According to Monique's site, May 7.

That makes sense. Three have aired, so the next three would be Apr. 23, Apr. 30, and May 7.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

And since those people would know that their viewing would help decide what goes and stays, I wouldn't think their attitude would be the same as an average viewer.

If Nielsen families don't act the same as an average viewer, though, it doesn't present much of a good system. Although I'm not sure Nielsen's data is much of a good indication anyway (not meaning that I'm saying it's not -- meaning I don't know enough about it). We had Nielsen on site at work today. The technical side of their applications is crap. That much I do know.

Is there anything new left to say in this discussion?

Thank you, Nilly! May 7th. I'm so excited I can't stand it. I think we will see it air on the network.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The networks know the Nielsens are crap, but they're also the only tracking system they have. (Tivo's viewer tracking is far more detailed and comprehensive, but advertisers subtract those numbers from the larger Nielsen ratings because Tivo-ers don't watch the ads.)

I knew I was part of the problem...

For a while last season, I'd play the VM episode on my TiVo, the night it aired, as I was going to bed. I'd shut off my TV from the TV set. That way, it looked like I watched it with the ads.
