[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 got a little distracted by the sidebar link about an Escape To Witch Mountain remake.
Congrats, Tim! A bidding war sounds exciting. No wonder the beagles are sitting pretty.
(Oo, now I will start angling for another totally free Dr. Pepper. Yes, I am in the vaguely-affiliated-with-TV business for the free soda. Don't judge me.)
All I can think to add is, shiny!!! Congrats, Tim (and Todd)!
rereading the article I stopped on this line-
a bidding war between ABC and Fox
and it got me thinking that someone at ABC said, "God damnit! (or Gorram it! as the case may be) I am not going to stand by and let FOX cancel another one of that man's hit shows!"
Awesome, Tim!
It sounded to me like Wonderfalls meets My Name is Earl... Which is in no way a bad thing.
I will be happy to watch it, especially on ABC. Go ABC Go!
Excellent! Great news, Tim.
I keep thinking about it! I cannot wait! I am so happy it's on ABC! I'm so happy it's a put!
Wow. I am exclamation happy, huh?
It sounded to me like Wonderfalls meets My Name is Earl... Which is in no way a bad thing.
Ooh. Now all Tim has to do is get Victor Hammer.
I'm curious to see if/when Tim puts the pitch in pop culture references, actually. I think I really got a handle on Drive with the Magnolia on wheels crossed with The Game thing.
Congrats to Tim, also. And ABC.
I always know that when I come to b.org and see a bunch of posts in Minearverse that there's a) really good news, b) really bad news, c) soaps or crafts stuff. Since there's really only one of those that options that make me happy, I often feel a mixture of anticipation and trepidation when I click the link. I'm just so happy that this time it's squee.
Good beagles. Very good beagles.
Maybe it's Leap of Faith meets Carnivàle?
