And God is Greg Hillinger from Nikita.
The first time you told me this, I think I snorted a Dorito up my nose.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

There didn't, by any happy chance, happen to be a video camera recording this as it happened?

Oh, and elsewhere somebody reports that the oldest son on Joan is played by John Ritter's son.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I despise the inherent arrogance of the "what would it have been like if you hadn't been here" homage to whatever movie, and it was quite annoying in Highlander EXCEPT -- Methos/Richie! Whoo!

It's a Wonderful Life. Once one of the most shown movies every Christmas until someone recopyrighted it.
And yes, every show is required by US law to mimic the storyline at least once in the show's run.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
And remember, this is the cliché that gave us Evil Willow. So I think we shouldn't be too quick to disdain.

Yes, but Joss and co twisted it and made it better. Jimmy Stewart did not get killed off ten minutes in.

I always thought it would have been potentially cool if they'd stretched out the The Wish to two or three episodes. Maybe have Cordelia being killed at the end of the first, Buffy showing up at the end of the second or some such. It would have been great to trick everyone into thinking this might be the show from then on. Although it might have made the reset at the end a bit cheesy, despite the amazing montage o' death.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Oh, and elsewhere somebody reports that the oldest son on Joan is played by John Ritter's son.
A boy so traumatized by his car accident, he does not believe in hair products.
Feh on SciFi's schedule. I hated Taken when it was a first-run soap opera about the godly inevitability of breeding pairs back last year; now it's a rerun soap opera etc. etc. I mean really. It cost probably more to produce those 20 hours of soap opera than has been spent in the entire 40+ year run of Guiding Light. And that's what ate up SciFi's budget for that year, and contributed to the silly decisions they've been making since. Sigh.

I have to say, I really enjoyed Joan of Arcadia, more than I expected to. Pretty good cast, halfway-decent writing, and a ton of familiar faces. Arthur! I hope he's a recurring character.
I also liked it that the deal with the murderer was kind of underplayed at the end. And I liked the lunch lady.
