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

Wilfred Review: Saving the Day

Well Jenna finally laid a big smooch on Ryan in this week's Wilfred. Was that a more powerful moment than Wilfy crying out for Bear to die, though?

Wilfred Review: The Nether Regions

Audiences were treated to another two episodes of Wilfred this week. How do you prefer your Wilfy: jealous and angry, or pretending to be the cool kid?

Mad Men Review: Not Great, Bob

A lot of things changed for Don Draper and SC&P during this week's season six finale of Mad Men. We think they changed for the better.

Mad Men Review: Men of Mystery

Don blew up Ted's spot and sent his baby away for a while on this week's Mad Men. Did either move make him man of the year in our opinion?

Many at the agency were given a shot of energy on this week's Mad Men. Did that increased level of enthusiasm make for an entertaining hour of television?

Mad Men Review: Move Forward

The two agencies merged this week on Mad Men, which meant there was some serious downsizing needed. Were you happy with the changes to SCDP and CGC?
