I wonder if Santa might be at Doxies-R-Us?

As for Perry, when I checked IMDb I noticed that I've watched several of the shows he's written for - though I certainly don't recall his specific scripts. And, unfortunately, I don't own any of the shows on DVD, so I can't pop in a disc and revisit them...
(I actually don't recall her saying that line on the show).
... Julia and Barnabas are going through massive tomes down in the drawing room. After all our research, complains Barn, the only things we've been able to find out are Tad and Carrie's dates of birth and death. This can mean a great deal says Julia--Carrie and Tad died at about the same age that David and Hallie are now. We've got to find much, much more, insists Barnabas. So far, we haven't come up with much, agrees Julia. At least the fact that they both died at the same time warranted some explanation, he says. Try to remember that the Collins family history isn't famous for accuracy, says Julia--I mean, what happened to you was important, and you were deliberately omitted. ...
Mark Perry (if I've got the name right--I am not familiar with his work, because as we all know, I live in a cave) has the good taste to quote Grayson Hall.
I don't know what the target demographic of commercial TV is now, but I'd guess the most important market share now is around 15 to 35 year olds. If a significant share of that group doesn't tune in, the show is unlikely to last long.
It's the CW again and I for one will be surprised if it airs at all, but who knows.
If DS takes off the way recent cult shows such as American Horror Show and Sabrina have done, then it could go gangbusters. One way those shows succeeded was by doing shorter seasons of only 10 or so episodes at a time, and I'd think the same will be true of the new DS if it is ordered to series. Just seems to be how the decision-making players run the game now.
