[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.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm happy to let TiVo know what I watch, and which ads actually catch my eye.
It's the only way I'll be heard.

Our wings are not tired.
I wouldn't object to my tv habits being tracked, but the equipment might overheat when one of the boys in my house has the controller. They don't know about my evil commerical skipping ways because I still use VCR.
la la la don't hear any ratings stuff la la la
I am not a Fox executive and am therefore clueless as to what the plan is for Drive. My head would surely explode if I tried to think like a Fox exec, so I shall not try. I plan to watch next Monday. I rarely plan my life so far in advance, but hey I may give this life planning thing a try.

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 read somewhere or saw on the news that more DVR folks watch ads then expected and advertisers needed to worry more about ad placement (first or last have high watch rates). it was interesting & unexpected.

A few days ago somebody suggested flooding the Drive offices with toy cars. It has imaginary, that's for sure. The petition is filed under Human and Civil Rights. Each two years I want water, a toliet, and a Tim Minear show.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
