About Me

Welcome to my blog!

I have always been mesmerized by television. As a preteen in the eighties, I used to devour TV Guides as soon as they came in the mail. I loved when new shows would come out. I used to handicap with my friends which shows would last and which ones wouldn't. I was often right (which tells you quite a bit about network execs). I could've told them that Manimal and Automan would fail.

While most kids had a favorite team they would follow, I had a favorite network--NBC for most of my youth. How could you go wrong with the network that brought you St. Elsewhere, Hill Street Blues, Remington Steele, David Letterman, SNL, and The A-Team? My opinion was later bolstered by shows like Hunter, Night Court, and Family Ties.

It's not that I didn't like shows on other networks; it just always seemed like I was cheating on my true love when I enjoyed a non-NBC show.

My love for TV never waned as I grew older (though my channels of preference expanded greatly). Televised friends came; they went. I laughed; I cried.

I watched.

And I keep on watching.

Now, I just feel the need to share my thoughts on these televised moments. I have always watched TV as an active viewer, and to me what makes this passive activity active is the analysis and discussion of these shows.

That's what this blog is: my thoughts, my analysis, and an open invitation for you to share yours.

As for the blog itself, I have really never done this sort of thing before, so bear with me while I make tons of changes.

If you have suggestions about how I can improve this blog, please post them and let me know.

Until next time, happy viewing and happy blogging!
