02.09.09 THE WARMING GLOW MANIFESTO
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…”
