Another tip of execs: Don’t drop a show if it doesn’t perform ASAP. The geeks can be fiercely loyal and avid promoters (look at firefly), but you have us time to warm up to a show and its characters. I have no doubt Firefly would be in it’s 5th season today, if Fox hadn’t mismanaged it soooooooo badly.

This entry of yours should be a required daily meditation for studio execs everywhere. The value of cult followings is always underestimated in the short run. Look at Joss Whedon’s FireFly. That show only had a total production run of 14 episodes (11 that aired) before being cancelled and is STILL making money. The show’s producers knew their audience and kept them engaged. Thanks for this little gem!

wow, badly css-styled form (shows white-on-white). Anyway I think that dressing up in costume is definitely more nerdy than geeky (and very definitely laugh-worthy from the geek side of the nerd|geek divide).

It’s a pity that Lionhead Studio’s game, “The Movies”, tanked. It would have been a perfect platform for a forward thinking show runner. It was basically a game built around mechanima. They could have had downloadable sets and actors, allowed people to upload finished movies…I wonder who at was at Lionhead who couldn’t sell this game to big media. This one’s a gimme.

Hi Andrew,

While I'm not that Chris Albrecht, I do like to think that I understand funny.

Chris Albrecht? Are you any relation to the former HBO exec who was totally brilliant and understood funny?

I sure hope so! If not, good article anyway.
