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.

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

Mobster stories are always a harder sell for me. I don't romanticize organize crime the way others do, though I can be swayed.

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.

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

Never forget that I am paid for my troubles!

As far as my personal nostalgia zone goes, I find I watch more of AntennaTV than anything else.
