THE TRAGEDY OF THE UNUSABLE ONE-LINER: It's always fun to read Sepinwall's daily accounts of the annual press tour -- which, if I understand correctly, is less a tour than a conference; we don't call it the ABA Antitrust Tour or the Hadassah Tour, right? -- so if you fall into our TV-saturated target audience and you haven't been following along, all of the entries are right here. I just wanted to make a special mention of two things.

First, since the word josswhedon, whispered softly in a breeze, seems to cause spontaneous orgasm among a nontrivial segment of our audience, we would be remiss if, upon noticing that there is a breeze now blowing toward today's Sepinwall entry, we failed to whisper josswhedon. You're welcome. Even to those of us less, er, sensitive to Whedon's charms, the following line is more than worth the price of admission:
They canceled "Shark," so I never had a chance to use the phrase, "Man, that show really swam under the Fonz."
Second, Alan, I can speak for nobody but myself (ETA: and Marsha) in begging you to tell the story of "Ian McShane delivering a verbal smackdown to a reporter who got hung up on semantics."
