When good TV shows get cut
It's really sad when good television shows get cut or canceled.
Take Firefly for example.
Not only have us viewers been deprived of good television, but work has been scarce for Nathon Fillion, the star of the show.
It's been so scarce - he's had to turn to the world of porn just to make ends meet.
The real reason that we can’t have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this: You cannot post “Thou Shalt Not Steal,” “Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery,” and “Thou Shall Not Lie” in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment. -- George Carlin (I think)

Not too bad a lack of work if you can get it. He's made ends meet, I think.

Re: When good TV shows get cut
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - It started when three brothers joked about making pornography for fans of the genre who happen to be offended by on-screen sex. Out of that joke came an idea for a website, and they called it "PG Porn."
In creating pornography that appeals to viewers who want their titillation toned down, brothers James, Sean and Brian Gunn are banking on web-surfers' growing acceptance of porn.
Sean starred in the television show "Gilmore Girls" and James wrote the screenplay for the 2002 movie "Scooby-Doo." Their latest production, a short spoof called "Nailing Your Wife," premiered on Wednesday at their site ( here ).
With pornography all over the Internet and the video store, the Gunn brothers rely on viewers' familiarity with all its conventions—the goofy acting, the bad music, the lace-thin plots—to create movies that look like the real thing but skirt nudity. Comedy substitutes for hard-core sex.
The actor in "Nailing Your Wife" is Nathan Fillion, who appeared in the ABC show "Desperate Housewives," and his castmate is porn star Aria Giovanni. PG Porn will feature similar pairings in the future.

Gilmore Girls, Scooby-Doo... definitely NSFW. You should be ashamed, res.

Didn't Scooby-Doo feature some hot lesbian action?
Aw, he's no fun, he fell right over.
Unless you become as little children, there's no way you will believe this crap.

it all started when Mrs Cleaver said...

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog was kick-ass awesome.
On the night you left I came over And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders
Our brand new coats so flushed and pink And I knew your heart I couldn't win
Cause the seasons change was a conduit And we left our love in our summer skin
