Craziest/funniest TV Squad comment you've seen? I can't recall any specific ones, but some people really take what is being presented on television as "entertainment" way too seriously.
If you were only able to watch one TV show, what would it be? That's a tough question, but I loved watching All in the Family as a kid, and still find it as the funniest and groundbreaking show ever to hit the small screen.
Most overrated and underrated TV show (current or past)? I didn't watch NYPD Blue with any regularity, but I always found it pretentious and way too overacted. I still can't believe it lasted as long as it did. I think The Odd Couple is the most underappreciated show ever. Despite it not getting great ratings when it was on the air, it's brilliant writing and even better acting make it a classic. Just watch the episode where Felix and Oscar go to a monastery for "peace and quiet" for a taste of how great this show was.

Craziest/funniest TV Squad comment you've seen? I love this one. It's the first comment that I received in response to my review of SNL from 4/15/06. It's short, to the point... the man clearly disagrees with me.
If you were only able to watch one TV show, what would it be? That's tough, but if it came down to it, I don't think I could live without 24. I really just want to be Jack Bauer.
Most overrated and underrated TV show (current or past)? Most overrated: Desperate Housewives. I really don't understand what's supposed to be so great about this show. I've tried numerous times and just can't get into it.
Most underrated: Rescue Me. This show is just too good. Denis Leary is fantastic and the writing merges drama with humor incredibly well. More people really need to watch it when it comes back in May.
How do you like writing for TV Squad? I'm getting paid to watch TV. How could there possibly be a downside to that?

Name: Annie Wu
Where (city/state/country) do you write from? Central Florida.
What else do you do other than writing for TV Squad? I go to school and pretend to be a good student. Any time not taken up by school is spent painting like an art snob or memorizing lines like a theatre nerd.
Craziest/funniest TV Squad comment you've seen? Hmm... I get a lot of comments from people that think I'm the star of the show I'm writing about. I'm never quite sure how to respond to these. Really, is "Annie Wu" that similar to "Jon Stewart"?
If you were only able to watch one TV show, what would it be? That's a tough one. I think I'd have to pick The Office (British version)... It never gets old. Or maybe The Daily Show because it's, well, daily.
Most overrated and underrated TV show (current or past)? Overrated? American Idol, without a doubt. As for the most underrated... I'm not really sure. All the shows I like are very well-appreciated by a solid following, either mainstream or cult.
How do you like writing for TV Squad? I absolutely love it. This is actually my first job (hey, I'm young, not lazy). Getting paid to write about things I enjoy sure beats bagging groceries like the rest of my friends.
