It wasn't until marathon sessions of Lost and 24 in the mid 00s that I fell in love with television, but since then it has been head over heels style.  I began making lists and ranking the top shows and characters on television at my blog, The Quiet Pool Perspective.  Shortly thereafter I came on as a staff writer here at TV Fanatic, suffering through scathing review after scathing review of HBO's Hung.  Since June of 2010 I have been lucky enough to write about all-time greats like Justified and Curb Your Enthusiasm, participate in numerous round table conversations, and interview stars such as Chuck's Yvonne Strahovski.  The late nights and early mornings continue to be worth it thanks to the fact that I am able to share my random thoughts and quasi-analysis with the many fans of each and every show I review.  Whether you praise me or bash me, there really can't be many better gigs.


Current Top Five Shows: Breaking Bad, Justified, It's Always Sunny, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Wilfred


Retired Top Five Shows: Lost, Seinfeld, The Wire, Las Vegas, Beverly Hills 90210

Mad Men Review: A New Don Draper?

Don and Peggy bonded like never before this week, as the former truly opened up to a co-worker and may be on his way out of the abyss. The episode earned a perfect score from TV Fanatic.

We weren't big fans of this week's Hung episode. Would you give a rating of more than two stars? Neither would we.

Mad Men Review: Such a Happy Dick

Mad Men Review: Such a Happy Dick

As Lane put it, this week's episode of Mad Men was akin to a "welcome distraction." It took Don to California and then he and Lane all over New York City.

Hung Review: "Sing It Again, Ray"

Nothing special or especially exciting about this week's episode of Hung. Ray and Tanya tried to help Damon fit in during the half hour.

Hung Review: "Mind Bullets"

Hung Review: "Mind Bullets"

This week's episode of Hung didn't exactly deviate a lot from the show's usual format: Jessica has marital issues, Tanya clashed with Lenore and Ray wanted to bond with his kids.
