Here's all I can find on it: Just March. Friday Death slot.

FOX. Maybe It'll come out on DVD

Welcome to the The Inside guide at TV Tome.

At first glance, Danny Roberts (Rachel Nichols, Dumb & Dumberer) seems to be the quintessential American teenager, dating the quarterback at a suburban high school. Only a few know her secret: Danny is not really a high school student, but a 22-year-old federal agent working undercover. Helping Danny – who is actually Agent ELIZABETH WORTH – maintain her cover is Agent Sean Eckhardt (Peter Facinelli, Fastlane).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the pilot episode, Danny / Elizabeth's drug investigation is sidetracked when her high school "boyfriend" is murdered. She must confront the pressures of getting personally involved in the lives of her classmates, while working to solve the murder and put the drug investigation back on track – all without blowing her cover. Over the course of the series, Danny's assignments will vary, but she always faces the unique challenges of going undercover to solve crimes.

Last I had heard the premise was changed. It was no longer going to be an undercover agent at a high school at all. I was more of a standard investigator drama. I could be thinking of something else though.

I think initially it was going to be a 21 Jump Street retread, with her always at that high school and trying to keep her cover. But (and this is from memory, so I could be wrong) Tim thought the format was limited and weak, so it was expanded to include different undercover assignments.

So, in short, yes. You are right. Or we're both wrong.

And here I add the little head banging against a wall for no good reason other than it makes me laugh.

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.

I emailed FOX yesterday through a link on their website, asking when "The Inside" would premiere. Their reply?

"Sometime in 2005. Thanks for asking."

And my reply to that was:

"Thanks so much for the specificity."

FOX still SUCKS!

You're just slightly wrong. Tim ditched the entire high school undercover premise for the reasons you mentioned. The central character is going to be a young FBI agent in the Violent Crimes unit in L.A. It will have a Silence of the Lambs feel to it. Her veteran partner will be the good guy to the boss's bad, or jaded, guy, metaphorically vying for her soul (Tim's metaphor). She also has a troubled past. Plus you've got Adam Baldwin playing yet another agent, who's a bit unpleasant.

Well, I read Fox has decided to make Fridays movie night at least through May sweeps, so don't expect The Insider to appear on a Friday night anytime soon.

I also read that David Fury (who was working on Lost) has left to write for The Insider. Fury worte my favorite episode on Lost (Walkabout), so I am looking forward to see what he can do for this show.

The article I read about Fury leaving said it would air on Monday, April 11th (before 24, which Fury will also be writing).

Kinda soon, given a complete lack of advertising, so I'm taking it with a grain of salt (2, actually).

Nanny 911 is scheduled for Monday at 8pm on Fox, so I doubt it, although schedules can change. But at this point I'd take it with the whole salt shaker!

Those wondering if “Lost” superwriter David Fury was brought aboard to replace Espenson on the gifted Tim Minear’s wonderful FBI series “The Inside” need wonder no longer! Fury replaces no one! Minear, Espenson and Fury, who all labored together on “Angel” a few years ago, are all now working together to put together the last six episodes of the first season of “The Inside,” headed to your puny TV set this August

Tim posted elsewhere this week that the name "The Inside" still may be up for a change.

It will premiere sometime this summer (with huge support from the network) and that it will be NOWHWERE near Friday at 8.

YAY!

I'll believe that when I see it. "huge support" from Fox for a series not involving white trash wedding, love competitions or wannabe singers? Sounds like pie in the sky.

Since this show is over one year in the making and Tim is getting to make his vision, I hope you are wrong.

They need a non unscripted hit BAD!

Let's hope this is the one.

The recent news had pointed to August but, what Tim posted this week made it seem that it would be earlier.

He didn't give any real details other than it would be earlier and not on Friday nights.

At LEAST it's not on Friday nights! I've missed so many good shows because they came on Friday or Saturday night. Please give me a week night or Sunday!

Can't wait to see your new show Tim!

Wow,
this is good news. Sounds like a great writing team. with the push back to a later start, at least they have time to advertise. I was afraid if it started anytime soon, no one would know what it was or when to watch. Now for the hard part. If not Friday, when? Hope they don't try to steal other shows' veiwers, they should put it on at a time when there is nothing competing with it. You can't put a new show opposite something that already has a fan base and expect them to leave.
"well we put it on at the same time as Lost, and we can't figure out why no one is watching." Mon. or Tues. should be good.

Well. I just saw the first commercial for The Inside. It had Adam in it. looked pretty good. More Silence of the lambs than 21 jump street. It aired during 24. Just "Coming soon" and "Viewer discretion advised." no time slot info.

I am sure they will wait until after May sweeps and all the current shows have completed their run.

I seems like it will be sooner than August if they are starting promos already and then there is this:

That's shiny.
Actually, with April almost over, that leaves only May, June, July(3 months of advertising) before the debut in August. Maybe they'll actually support this one. And just in case they're reading: Monday at 8:00 would be good.
And if they fail to support it, I'll just add it to my DVD collection.

I'm guessing it will be June or July at the latest if they are showing promos already.

So probably only one month (to two at the most) wait.

Rachel Nichols character did so well in the first run, that the show was completely revamped.

Instead of 9 more episodes they will do 18. Ans as you both surmised, they are going to a more "adult" theme, -no Highschool stuff, -flashier, more sophisticated, detective action stuff.

Sounds good! They had a BIG roll out ad for it on FOX tonite, big budget 30 second spot. in the 9:30 slot.

Heytina,
welcome to the boards. Everything I've seen looks good. I'm looking forward to it. It'll be great to see Adam and Kattie back, I hope it gets the support it deserves. Great creative team, great actors, only FOX could mess th...oh nevermind.
No really, if they support it they way it looks like they're going to, they might actually have a hit show on their hands. With the renewal of House that'll make 2.
