"Twice burned, me" - Tim Minear on Fox's role. "My "Firefly" experience was repeating itself....I do think market forces were at work here, too. Not just incompetence.".

Love his new Fox motto further on in the thread:

Fox - Where the shit hits the fans!

Says it all, dunnit?

Did anybody see the second half to the thread that he deleted?

I thought he meant he deleted that part of his message before he posted it it.

no i think he deleted it after because it shows at the bottom he edited the post....

The shit hits the fans.....that is a good one. But it applies to the WB too. I'm hard pressed to pick which network appears worse to me right now.

But yeah it smells like a Firefly redux doesn't it? They just didn't like either show and Tim's right when he says he knew it was over when it got dumped on the Friday Graveyard Shift. I had a distinct 'Firefly' feeling myself when I heard that. I do wonder if they want those shows to fail. Why else put it on that timeslot if not to get low ratings and have an excuse to cancel it?

Jell-O shots, anyone? Anything that will leave a stain?! *sobs*

And I was looking forward to the inevitable Jaye-Eric hook up.

I wanted to see the cow tell her to "have a pancake" and "right turn on red, MOOO!"

tv.yahoo.com still lists Wonderfalls as airing on Thursday.
Is it true?

electricspacegirl | April 05, 02:47 CET

Nah. My TiVo tells me the same. It's a lie. A big, fat lie. TiVo probably won't say different for a couple days yet I expect.

God damn it! Where's a vengeance demon when you need one?

electricspacegirl | April 05, 03:53 CET

I'm giving serious consideration to entering that line of work. Anyone know to whom I should submit a resume?

Stakeholder,

I would say contact Satan, Lucifer, Beezelbub, Mephisto - - but they already run Fox, so there's no point!! You'd be working for the enemy!!
