It was a brief interview about Joss bringing back Buffy in comic books. While he didn't specifically mention Firefly, he did say something about not caring if he received any awards but rather that writing about monsters, spaceships and the future was what interested him. Not his exact words. They played Sarah Michelle Geller singing from "the musical."

This is not a good sign. Should I say it? He's being treated like a has-been!

Hmnn? I wasn't sure what he meant. I didn't exactly see him being treated like a has-been but they did say it was unusual to make a comic book following a show rather than the other way around. Joss said he tried to keep the show going but couldn't get the actors or other back-up he needed so he decided to do the comic books. You can probably go to NPR This American Life and listen to the show.

"Awww... the poor guy couldn't do the show he wanted so he's doing it in comic book form." OMG! total has-been! Joss's better get in the good graces of some big named producer as fast as he can, and make a movie or produce a TV series before it's too late!

"Now let's go back down memory lane when Joss was great and producing worthwhile shows that got canceled..."

It was on NPR This American Life. If you google NPR This American Life I think you can find the site and maybe download it.

It'll probably take a few days or a week for them to post the show online. Don't worry, I'm sure it'll show up soon, Red.

P.S. I LOVE This American Life!
