You're the man! Thanks for posting these, good luck with Drive, even though we all know how FOX operates...

Thanks for posting the scripts here. I enjoyed reading them all. I just wish you could add the missing scripts.

We want Dvds!!! Please put The Inside on Dvd

One day, I hope you get to make the serial-killer movie to end all serial-killer movies, using the characters from The Inside. We have to find out what was 'up' with Web, don't we...

just read through the few that I didn't manage to see and wanted to thank you guys for sharing them. Even reading they are amazing and bring back to mind how great the show was. Hopefully a change will occur in the minds of the PTB and you can share the dvds.

I'd like to third the call for DVDs. It seems to me that the DVD releases for Angel, Wonderfalls and Firefly have all sold really well. Why would Fox think that The Inside would not also sell well on DVD. Their logic does not resemble our earth logic.

Another DVD supporter here. I thank my lucky stars that ITV4 showed all the episodes that were filmed before the cruel axing. It was really taking off and would love to have all the episodes and commentries from the guys :)

The Inside wasn't even given a chance by the Whedonites that should have... but it's one of the best shows I've ever seen. The dream of the DVDs haunt me! Ben Edlund (Smile Time, Jaynestown) wrote the episode with Amber Benson? Come on! Could you possibly want more? Not to mention the 2 failed pilots... why are they dragging their feet on this DVD set? It's not exactly like Firefly and Wonderfalls flopped on DVD...

I love and loved The Inside. I have to echo the call for a DVD set. In an ideal world, the DVD set would have all the episodes on it - even those that were never filmed :(

I will keep my fingers crossed that the DVD's comeout. Watching Rachel on Alias just reminds me how much I miss her character on the Inside. Thanks for posting the drafts - I can't wait to read them!!

Dvds are the answer. I loved reading the scripts, but we all know that is not as good as watching the actors deliver the lines.

Posted by: Gretchen at April 28, 2006 09:38 AM

does anybody have all the episodes on dvd.

Posted by: marissa at April 28, 2006 09:51 AM

I love this scriptwriting style. It gives much more to the actor than just setting the scene and delivering dialogue, there's an extra texture to it that really gives the characters life.

Fantastic!

The Inside was the best procedural drama I've ever seen because it had heart and mind. Crime shows usually put the characters aside and focus only on the mistery. Nothing wrong with that, but it's so much better when you can have this and also an emotional and intelectual richness. The Inside has all that.

Thanks Tim ^^
