I'm a fan of half-hour shows that can be both funny and dramatic.

It seems to me conspiracy is at the heart of dozens of TV dramas currently on. Maybe that itself is some kind of conspiracy.

One of the dirty little secrets of my job is that I don't do ANY food or cooking shows.

My first few years as TV critic, I would go to parties and people (usually older Posties or ex-Posties who seemed to pride themselves on not watching very much television) would take me by the arm and insist that I watch this show they'd recently starting watching on DVD, about drug dealers in Baltimore.

Whenever people ask me if it's okay to stop watching "The Leftovers," I always say OF COURSE IT IS.

The fastest way to bring financial ruin upon yourself is to go for a drive in the United States without proof of insurance and current license and registration.

I'm pretty sure the world is in solid agreement that "The Wire" is worth watching all the way through.
