No, this isn’t a post about Friday Night Lights and now much I love it–no questions asked no matter the number of tears shed by the end of the episode. Instead, this post is about how for a little while, I can’t focus on TV for too long each day without frying my brain function. Sadly, one part of my …

Friday night, while attending a screening of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog and season two of The Guild with friends, I did two things I’m not used to doing: I facilitated two different groups talking to people they’d missed before at other events. My friend Hollywood Jane has often been near Joss Whedon, but never talked to him, despite her love …

The life of a TV fan in Los Angeles is never dull. It’s easy enough to spot an actor walking around town, but it’s equally as easy to see actors talking about their work at numerous other locales. For me the next few weeks are going pretty busy, with the added bonus of being really entertaining. Friday, the Egyptian Theatre …

With it’s third season more than half complete, it seems like I should talk about Mad Men, which is one of the shows I love, but manage to not talk about here. I’ve been watching the show, at the urging of another friend, since the start of the second season (having mainlined all of season one via On Demand.) As …

One of my favorite things about the wide-spread use of the internet is how much different people from different parts of the world can bond over a show. Of course, the next best part is when all of the people you’ve met can actually meet in person. I’ve had more than one opportunity to meet my friends from various places …

Now that The Paley Center’s Fall Preview Parties have ended here in Los Angeles, I can finally think through the four nights’ worth of information. Unlike the last two years, I found myself unwilling to sit through shows that hadn’t yet captured my attention (sorry CBS!), but I also found myself really impressed by a series of shows I wouldn’t …

Yesterday marked the first day back for Fall television. Of course, the shows that I watched last night (90210 and Melrose Place) are not on my list of top favorites, it provided a nice way to ease back into the mania for a full DVR and hours spent trying to catch up. Today marks the last day of one of …

Last night, one of my friends invited me to attend a screening of Community with her at Los Angeles City College. After the pilot episode, NBC put on a nice question and answer session with a good portion of the cast and creator Don Harmon. Cast members present included: Gillian Jabobs, Joel McHale, Chevy Chase, Yvette Nicole Brown, Ken Jeong …

I know I’ve talked about the people that I’ve had the privilege of meeting from far and wide, but today’s a bit different with regards to my friends from online. One of my closest friends and I met on this day three years ago, and I need to celebrate that with all of you. In part, because without him, I …

Now that the insanity of The Critics’ Association is over, I’m happy to have had the pleasure to talk to Daniel the TV Addict and Jace of Televisionary, who were gracious hosts once I figured out what was going on (Thursday morning witnessed a few snafus at the hotel, from the Twitter DoS, to an entire circuit going out which …
