'Shells'
[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.
I believe Tim discouraged the Inside DVD campaignyness at the time.
Yes, if memory serves, I think you're right. But I never understood why a DVD campaign was a bad idea, especially since we didn't get DVDs. Unless he knew that DVDs were NEVER going to happen (and I thought at one point he thought they were - I may be forgetting a point where he said it was a never-going-to-happen).
Tamara,
that's my recollection.
I thought only the save the show campaign was discouraged? The DVDs were initially thought to be a foregone conclusion, until they were, y'know, not.
I'm pretty sure I asked Tim about a DVD campaign and he said something like it shouldn't be needed. Although I could be wrong. 20th Century Fox do some maths about cost vs audience. I'm actually still surprised they didn't release them as it had a good 3 million plus viewers by the end so it seems a little dumb.
Now, Drive DVD? First of all, I want. Secondly, commentary's could be fun. Thirdly, multiple pilots would be wacky and great. Plus they've got loads of material they already shot, like interviews, behind the scenes etc.
Good news! Fox showed a re-run of the Bones pilot last night from 9 -10. They showed at least one Drive ad for Monday night. Still advertising is good, right?
In theory. "Crime Dog" was being advertised right up to the date it didn't air, though.
La la la :: retro-puts hands over eyes so she doesn't read that ::
I'm pretty sure Drive will air this Monday.

I believe they did the same thing with Kitchen Confidential. Not that I don't think people should tune in. I'm just saying: Fox.
My early thoughts regarding Drive:
-- I like Winston more than Alex. Despite the "Homes" factor.
-- However, seeing the character called "MAlex" on other boards irritates me. Probably just because I was so not a Firefly fan.
-- I don't think J.D. Pardo has been an acting tour de force on the show as of yet, but I still find Sean's interactions with Winston rather charming. Particularly in the last episode, "Would you believe me if I said I was innocent?" and catching up on each other's histories.
-- I get the comparisons people see between Emma Stone and Lindsay Lohan, but I can't help but think that shortchanges Emma. And hell, I liked young Lindsay's work. I just think Emma's so much more than just another pretty redhead with a husky voice. She's been a pleasant surprise for me.

Huh - I don't think noticing that she looks like Lindsay Lohan says antyhing at all about her acting abilities, but I haven't really been paying attention to fandom outside of this board.
