Save "The Inside"!
Eine herrliche „Zusammenfassung“ all der programmplanerischen Fehlgriffe von FOX der letzten Jahre findet sich beim newsjournal-online. Und wenn man sich diese tragische Liste von gescheiterten Serien so anschaut, kann man nur eine Schlußfolgerung ziehen: Man fängt am besten jetzt schon an mit der „Save our show“-Online-Petition für die neue Tim Minear Show „The Inside“, die in wenigen Wochen auf FOX starten soll.
Alas, it’s doomed from the start. „The Inside“ is being produced by Tim Minear, co-producer and writer for such weird and wonderful shows as „Angel“ (canceled too soon), „Firefly“ (canceled even sooner), and „Wonderfalls“ (canceled almost before the opening credits). So you know he’ll bring some familiar faces to both sides of the camera and it’ll be witty, surprisingly dramatic, and almost impossible to describe.
See? Doomed. But I’m not worried because I’ve finally figured out Fox’s cunning plan: obviously they want people to stop watching television altogether. It’s a radical method of beating the other networks once and for all, in a we’ll-all-go-down-together sort of way, but it’s the only possible answer.
They kicked „Futurama“ around and it won Emmys. They cancelled „Family Guy,“ twice, and it outsold both „Friends“ and „Sex in the City“ in 2003. „Wonderfalls“ was cancelled after only four episodes but the DVD set, which came out yesterday, was the fourth highest selling DVD on Amazon.com yesterday afternoon.
