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: Justified, Community, Homeland, Breaking Bad, It's Always Sunny
Retired Top Five Shows: Lost, Seinfeld, The Wire, Las Vegas, Beverly Hills 90210
