"Vultures! Vultures! Come in vultures!"

Josh Friedman was the showrunner of “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.” He’s also a blogger, cause everyone’s a damned blogger these days, although he hadn’t written a new post since something like February ‘08. Busy dealing with time travel and robots and all that. But now he’s got some time on his hands (fucking Fox), so he’s written up a brand new post. Unsurprisingly, the “will they, won’t they” of his show’s renewal status was less than fun for the man. Makes for a helluva entertaining post, though:

Losing your show is more like a surprise divorce where you get served papers in the morning and your (ex)wife is fucking Human Target by three in the afternoon using the same time slot your child was conceived in and also where she did that one thing that one time on your birthday.

I really enjoyed reading this post and found myself repeatedly thinking of Rob Thomas (the guy behind “Veronica Mars,” “Party Down” and both failed versions of “Cupid”). Not sure what Friedman’s got planned next, but I could see him doing well with a less serious, more dramedy-type thing. In any event, you could find worse ways to kill 10 minutes than reading his Boy in the Bubble post.

I feel his pain. Once, my public access show was booted off for 'inappropriate content' and replaced by "Art Pfifer Plays the Accordian"

There's nothing like bitterness for a good blog. It brings out the worst in us but can be immensely entertaining. He's got a good style. Kinda makes me wish he gets fucked over more often in life for more of these entertaining tid-bits.

I'm an awful person. I accept, nay, embrace that. So I feel no compunction about stating that I enjoyed reading Josh's blog more than I enjoyed watching T:TSCC, and lamented when he got a day job and stopped updating the blog. Still feel bad for the guy and all the crew.

I'm still pissed off about the cancellation. I thought it was a good show.

I boycotted Terminator Salvation as my response.

I saw this yesterday, and while I never watched TSCC or cared to, the blog entry was well worth the time. He even made me laugh out loud at my desk. The man's talented--I wish him success in the future.

One less hot chick on television.

Why have you forsaken me, America?

Maybe he should go back in time and kill everyone involved with the cancellation...

@BarbadoSlim

Going back in time and killing the cancellation people.. you should check out a funny post that Lanie Grace wrote on that very subject called "Terminator Denial: A TSCC Spinoff Series.

From the article:

"...You ignored the fans, the ratings and everything Terminator Canon. You aren’t Dr. Phil and we didn’t care what was in Sarah’s head, we wanted to see Sarah bust heads..."

A fucking MEN

Thanks for the link!
