In fact, when it comes to TV, I'm not even sure what my real, true preferences are.

I like the anthology concept. I wish more shows would do it.

I love commercials. I love to hate commercials, too. I talk back to them.

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

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.

I do get lots of links to advance screeners, which helps, but there's no way I could do my job without the full-on cable subscription.

While I don't like violent programs per se, I do like good storytelling, which made me a fan of shows like Breaking Bad and American Horror Story.
