I think ita was making a joke.
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think I was too, she says deflating all possible humour from her one line.

I am humorless.

Punishingly Intricate
I got the joke and then the others failing to get the joke made it even funnier. So, as far as I'm concerned, you are all winners here today!
And I too am digging the concept of the new show!!!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Variety define put pilot as:
put pilot -- A deal to produce a pilot that includes substantial penalties if the pilot is not aired; a virtual guarantee that a pilot will be picked up; "CBS is getting back into business with Jerry Bruckheimer, inking a blind put pilot deal with the mega-producer."

Those Focus on the Family types are probably going to have something to say
Well, they made 65k complaints over THE INSIDE
Pretty sure we're talking about two different groups here. Not that there isn't probably some overlap, or that there aren't things to resent Focus on the Family about, but from your link upthread it appears that the group doing all the Inside stuff was called Parent TV Council or somesuch. Just for clarity.
Which isn't to say that Focus on the Family types won't have something to say. They probably will.
