EXEC 1: "Wow, that new Whedon movie made millions."
EXEC2: "Yeah. Pretty damn good. A Western set in Space with lots of Chinese swearing thrown into the mix. Who would've thought..."
EXEC1: "You know how I think we can really cash in?"
EXEC2: "Gee, no, how?"
EXEC1: "Let's make it into a TV show! I think the stories could be scaled down into, say an hour-long weekly show."
EXEC2: "Sounds good...

... but now that we know the formula, lets just do our own version."
EXEC1: "Yeah! We could get Jerry Bruckheimer to do a treatment on it. Have his research people run it by some test audiences, figure out how we can tweak it for maximum appeal to our target demographic. Work out some choice product placements. We'll need some actor's and directors willing to play ball. Let's run it by marketing and see how she flies!"

EXEC3: Nah, that'll cost too much...let's replace the actors with reality-show contestants!
EXEC2: Great idea!
EXEC3: While we're at it, scuttle that expensive set and just have some egomaniacal CEO let us use his offices as the setting!
EXEC 1: Brilliant! Let's all give ourselves big raises for saving the network so much money!!!

Now, now. You folks can't be like that about the fox executives. Your conjecture is without merit. I mean, there's no proof that great apes have thought processes that complex.

Yeahhhhhhh Baby!!!! I take this as the best and most reliable good sign there has been in a while. Far more up in tone. I feel like I can almost relax. But not quite.

Definitely excellent news.

Adam Baldwin also posted in the thread saying "No news is good news".

Though it is not a date on the movie release, the fact that according to Tim things seem to be on track is the best news we have had since getting a release date for the DVD set.

"May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."
