* GeorgeJetsonJobSecurity: Shows he's involved in generally don't run for very long. So far, ''9-1-1'' seems to be defying his bad luck, as of 2024 it's been renewed for an eighth season (albeit having been canceled and {{uncanceled}} between the sixth and seventh seasons)

Also known for shows on FOX that get cancelled very quickly. In the space of five years, he produced ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' (11 episodes aired), ''Series/{{Wonderfalls}}'' (4 episodes aired), ''Series/TheInside'' (6 episodes aired), and ''Series/{{Drive}}'' (4 episodes aired). Then he became a consulting producer on ''Series/{{Dollhouse}}'', which actually got ''two'' seasons before it got canned. He then produced the critically beloved ''Series/{{Terriers}}'' for Creator/{{FX|Networks}}, which attracted fewer viewers than the average high-school play. He worked on ''Series/TheChicagoCode'', which was canceled by Creator/{{FOX}} after its 13 episode first season. He broke the curse with ''Series/AmericanHorrorStory'', on which he worked as an executive producer and which is a bona fide hit for Creator/{{FX|Networks}}. He's currently creator/showrunner of ''Series/NineOneOne''.

Quote from the ''New York Times'':
"To fans of the WB's recently canceled ''Series/{{Angel}}'', the writer Tim Minear is known affectionately as The Tim Reaper: the master of the fatal plot twist."
