"I've been cancelled more times than a Whitney Houston comeback tour."
-The man himself, on how he copes with losing a show.
Quote from the
The New York Times:
"To fans of the WB's recently canceled
Angel, the writer Tim Minear is known affectionately as
the Tim Reaper: the master of the fatal plot twist." (The cited article can be found
here
.)
Also known for shows on FOX that get cancelled very quickly. In the space of five years, he produced
Firefly (11 episodes aired),
Wonderfalls (4 episodes aired),
The Inside (6 episodes aired), and
Drive (4 episodes aired). Then he became a consulting producer on
Dollhouse, which actually got
two seasons before it got canned. He then produced the critically beloved
Terriers for
F/X, which attracted fewer viewers than the average high-school play. He worked on
The Chicago Code, which was canceled by
FOX after its 13 episode first season. He is making a pilot,
Miracle Man, for
ABC. Let's hope that some of his projects eventually survive. Or that we at least get a good DVD set out of them.
