I think the problem is that they were too original, myself...
Yup. Original means the marketing staff has to work at it to get the concept across to the public.

The Minearverse 6: Fiery Thread of Death
[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!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Lights Out could totally be summed up in one sentence. I'm not saying I'm going to make the best one, but it was about a prizefighter returning from retirement. That's, I think, both a decent summary and a differentiator from the rest of the market.
Terriers, that's harder to do. What do you say about two low-rent PIs that sums up the show usefully and makes people think specifically of that show?

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

I KNOW PUT A BIG DOG ON THE POSTER AND PUT THE TWO GUYS WAAAAAY IN THE BACKGROUND!
What do I win?
Classic blame shifting. Don't do that. You screwed the pooch. *cough*

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Every time I try and get StW to watch Terriers, he jokes, "The one about the dogs, right?" Ha bloody ha.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
A dog that's not even a terrier! So confusing!!!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Aww, I miss that dog.

You know....I bet he'll read the comments on his own article. Unless he's above-it-all.

I went and posted something psychotic. That's why I should come here, first. Now I feel like a boob.

Being antagonistic is seldom the best option. *sigh*
