Where do you write from?

NYC

Craziest/funniest TV Squad comment you've seen?

I don't recall exact comments, but one time Pearl Jam was the musical guest on SNL and in my review of the episode, I said they didn't sound very good because, well... they didn't. After that I pretty much became the anti-christ to PJ fans everywhere. There were a lot of unhappy readers to say the least.

If you were only able to watch one TV show, what would it be?

The Wire. Nothing else compares to it. If you haven't watched it yet, you should. Now.

Most overrated and underrated TV show (current or past)?

Most overrated has got to be Desperate Housewives. I really don't understand why there was so much buzz about this show when it first came out.
Most underrated? I'd probably go with Arrested Development. It's sad that most people didn't figure out how amazing it was until after it was cancelled, myself included.

Best benefit of writing for TV Squad?

You mean besides the free membership to The Emperors Club? Well, I really can't argue with all the DVDs we get. Being able to see episodes weeks ahead of time is pretty great.

Where else can we see you on the web?
If you'd like, go gawk at my tiny IMDb page and pretend I'm a celebrity.

Favorite episode of a TV show?

Definitely the series finale of Six Feet Under. No other show (even ones that are better) have as good an ending as SFU does.

Jonathan,

thanks for being at least one of the people here at TVSquad who loves The Wire. It truly is the most amazing show I have ever seen, yet it seems like the other tvsquad bloggers don't care about it (like most people I guess).
