You can either have information within five minutes of me getting it, or you can have it pristine. Choose from either column A or B PS. Michelle, our terrif copy editor, is scrutinizing it as we type

James Patterson, author of Women's Murder Club, is famous (and annoying IMO) for short, succinct chapters. Too short, too succinct.

Um, where's Boston Legal? I am assuming 10/2, but what the hell. Did the network forget about one of their shows?

The BL premiere was the only reason I opened this blog.

What's the point of having so many TV Guide writers if they're going to just rave about the same series? I understand the appeal of Pushing Daisies -- I just saw the pilot (downloaded it from a torrent) -- but come on, someone offer a unique perspective here! Between the few bloggers at this site, they may as well fire 2 of them and purge costs. It's the same nauseating repetition every day. The slight attention to the GOD AWFUL 'Traveler' was even enough to offer a sigh of relief. Let's see who's man enough to share a new perspective on WMC or the actually-enjoyable DSM...another pilot I just watched.
