'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
[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. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!
There are local commercials, network (national) commercials, and network promotions.
The plan is to cut the network commercials from 10 minutes down to 5 minutes, reduce the promos if possible, and leave local (affiliate) commercials alone.
That way an hour that would normally have 42-43 minutes of program would now have 48-50.

ooooOOOOooooo
It is all still an experiment, but an experiment that hopefully pleases advertisers and viewers alike.
But not Canadians.
Yeah, this may cause syndication and international sales issues, but both shows have already been purchased for Canada, I believe.
The thought has crossed my mind that foreign broadcasters may cut Dollhouse so they can squeeze in more ads. Bit like what A&E did for MI5 (Spooks), I'm sure BBC America did it for Torchwood as well. But that's fun and games for next year. Right now I'm just enjoying a fandom that's just woken up after a 3 year nap.
And they woke up all feisty, it seems.
yeah, internationally I expect it'll lead to some cutting. And so more downloading. Interesting times.
It's a bold move, and all credit to Fox for taking it.

This is an example of context helping so much. I honestly was thinking, "Good Lord, what are the fans doing now?"
I reread. My bad.

Heh. And a whole new fandom will spring forth. Like Firefly fans who didna know Buffy and Angel. And I was like, "who are you people? hands off the Whedon, strangers! You're getting your new fan goo on my Tim! Wash your hands! Ew!"
Which, you know, completely psychotic.
