Warming Glow
Warming Glow is a blog dedicated to the best and worst of television programming. Mostly the worst.


02.09.09 THE WARMING GLOW MANIFESTO

draper

So, this here is a TV blog, or so I’ve been told.  For those of you who are old friends or longtime readers, hi.  For those in search of a TV-related blog, welcome.  Do come in and stay a while.  And for those of you might be wondering about my abilities to add to the heady discussion of TV or are unaware what kind of credentials I have, let me assure you that I have none whatsoever.  I’m here mainly to say that things on TV are bad, and that TV executives hate you and think you’re stupid.  Which — let’s be fair — is probably true.  You have no one to blame but yourself for watching “The Hills.”

Anyway, there’s nothing so well-formed as a central thesis here.  But I can promise you the following if you check back every day (preferably 8-10 times during the work day, from different computers).

  • Updates on which reality TV shows are destroying the fabric of humanity.
  • Occasional coverage of TV shows that are actually good, and the obsessive fans that make watching those shows less fun (I’m looking at you, “LOST” fan forums).
  • Clips from Japanese television shows.   Ever seen Japanese TV?   They’re some sick bastards.
  • Industry news

Notice I put industry news last.  I’m going to try to focus on subjects that are remotely interesting, which is also why I won’t be writing up “Gossip Girl” recaps.  Oh, I’m sorry — do you watch “Gossip Girl”?  I didn’t mean to offend you, Single Woman in Her Late 20s.  I’ll let you get back to your cats.

I think you forgot to add “I don’t have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It’s a depression. Everybody’s out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel’s work, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter…and we sit watching our TV’s…”

Damn you Ufford. Damn you to hell. I had a great rotating schedule of KSK, With Leather, Film Drunk, AV Club, Deadspin, Penny Arcade (M,W,F), Comics Curmudgeon, and now this? How am I going to find the time in my already busy work day to fit this in? It is a good thing I took that project scheduling course.

You had me at “Japanese TV.” Just as long as tentacles are involved.

Why am I not surprised that M-Uff waited until the end of football season to launch this thing?

Hmmm…..steps into Warming Glow. Looks around. To self, “This place is still shiny and new, unmolested by the likes of the regulars.”

Yep, needs more molestation.

1) Gossip Girl is bad, but Beverly Hills 90210 is worse.
2) I’m not gay, but I’d try it with Joan Holloway
3) Leave my cats out of this
