Which makes much more sense, methinks.
And I only am aware of all this because I finally caved to various pressures and read the damn thing a couple of weeks ago.

Either that, or he's been swimming in a big vault full of middle America's money, like Scrooge McDuck.

He's a horrible writer, prose-wise. And the "ideas" behind his stories are pure horseshit. But his plots are like a really good ride a Disney World ... you just need to turn off your brain and go "whee!"

Logline: "A man, who supposedly died in 9/11, returns home after having been missing for 7 years..."
Happy Town, ABC
Logline: "In the wake of a small town's first crime in seven years..."
This may be a first in television history...I think the man from Back is the criminal in Happy Town.

2) "the middle" and "at last" are the only promising ones. the end of network TV hopefully comes fast and furious.
3) i'm more interested in the cable series. I wonder if the washingtonienne got picked up by HBO. whatever happened to that show based on the rivington street apartment complex posted about in gawker's golden days?

I'm cautiously excited.
A few things though:
1) Love him. But do not need to see Marc Singer. Dude has not aged well.
2) The V lore is great, but ABC has a way of campy-cheesing things up until I want to set fire to everyone even remotely connected with Pushing Daisies/Ugly Betty and that ilk of quirk/Disneyland world of colorform madness.
3) Will not watch if there's CGI.
4) Will not watch if Diana doesn't eat a whole guinea pig/hamster/gerbil/rat from the ACE train stop. Minsley!! Hamster monorail!
5) Will not watch if there are ubiquitous cameos by original cast members trying to still be in the "resistance." You know running badly, needing stunt men for TV, and/or wearing copious amounts of make-up to hide the bevy of 80's drug and drink abuse. See Marc Singer from above. However Robert Englund is okay, because dude doesn't ever seem to age.
All in all, these could be very exciting times. Unless, you know, ABC does that thing that it does, and everything becomes psychedelic Claymation with overacting.
