I'm not much a TV reporter, as in someone who covers the daily machinations of the television industry, though I certainly follow it and weave it into my reviews and essays about the medium.

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.

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

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

"Star Trek" expands almost instinctively - the more information you seek from it, the more it gives. It also has the benefit of taking place in our future, our mutual destinies as occupants of a peaceful, non-polluted Earth.

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.

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