The Dresden Files > DF TV Series
The SPOILERIFIC Ask Robert Wolfe Thread-The Series, in General
JRBobC:
Hey Mr. Wolfe. First thanks for taking the time to answer questions and for getting involved with the series. It is because of you and all the others involved in it that I became a fan of the books.
I was just curious, how does digital distribution (ala iTunes, or streaming from the scifi site) effect ratings and financing? I do not have SciFi so the only way that I can watch the Dresden Files is by downloading them thru iTunes (I believe in paying for content dammit).
I ask because every Monday on Scifi.com/scifiwire they show the weekly ratings for their shows.
Hope you get to do a second season, will keep fingers crossed.

Robert,
I don't intentionally want to raise your blood pressure...but....er
Have you see the latest SciFi Magazine issue (June) ? It has Spidey on the cover.
TDF gets some PR as it should in the TV section along with many others. SciFi Mag supporting their own networks' show makes sense from a business and readership pov. Cool.
No problem with that.
However, due to a lag in the production schedule ( One hopes ) the showtime for TDF was wrong. The article centers upon the season finale and then proceeds to detail items from the "What About Bob?" epsiode which all of us have already seen - stating that this Bob ep is the season finale. WTF!
My apologies if this is old news to you. Probably is. As a fan of the show and the magazine I couldn't help but think WTF !! Glad I am not in charge of PR planning for the show I gotta say. Ouch.
Please keep up the good work though Robert, et al.
Love the show. Fingers crossed for a stunning season two.
-Steve
Sidara:
I saw an older episode list where "What About Bob?" was in fact the season finale, so it's entirely possible if this was true, that the mag went to press on this basis (probably a month or two ago).
If I was Bob...:
When is the 2 hour stormfront going to be shown????

No clue, but I'm sure high iTunes sales don't hurt the cause.
