I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

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!"

Punishingly Intricate

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.)

Regardless of what the show's like, they already have a tailor-made catchy theme song!

I'm gonna be so disappointed now if they don't use the Chipmunks for their theme song.

Nah, it just needs to be playing in the car the first time the title character drives anywhere.

That should be the show's motto: "Witch Doctor: It's fuckin' awesome!"

I can see the promos now.

In unrelated news, I am watching an episode of Third Watch, where they're in Greenpoint and they're reporting shots fired at "11th and Greenpoint, by the river." Which may have led me to yell at the television. I think I scared my neighbors, who were out by the pool.
