Where do you write from?A remote corner of rural/suburban "heck" in Somerset County, NJ.
Craziest/funniest TV Squad comment you've seen?
Boy, there are too many to count. I've seen so many off-topic and paranoid tips and comments, often written with crazy spelling and capitalization, that they start to blend together. If you saw our tips e-mails you'd think that a) our readers are in the Montana Militia, or b) they think the people on their TVs are talking directly to them.
If you were only able to watch one TV show, what would it be?
Scrubs. At least the first five seasons (and the "last" season). I've seen them a million times, and the episodes still make me pee my pants with laughter.
Most overrated and underrated TV show (current or past)?
Overrated: Twin Peaks. Never understood why people liked that show. It was like it was weird for weird's sake.
Underrated: Grounded for Life. Really funny show, with a flashback structure that preceded How I Met Your Mother by five years.
Best benefit of writing for TV Squad?
Screeners. I love being able to see new shows ahead of when they air, and know that the piracy police aren't looking over my shoulder.Also love to interview the network execs, producers, writers, and stars that make the world of TV go.
Where else can we see you on the web?
I write for a number of different magazines, newspapers and websites; when people ask me who I write for, I usually say, "whoever will pay me." My website is at http://www.joelkeller.com.

Hello, Joel -
Just wanted to let you as EIC of TVSquad know that you have lost one regular viewer. The constant political comments and gross bias demonstrated by your blogger Danny (and often by Brad) has finally driven me away after about 3 years of daily visits. I know there have been many compaints on their posts in the past, which you may see as a good thing generating traffic, but at a certain point it just becomes irritating and turns off some of your customers. Since I have had many years of good visits, I wanted to pass this customer feedback along as a way of saying thanks for the good times.
