Where do you write from?
Luckily, I have wireless and a laptop computer. As such, I write everywhere from the couch in my living room to my bed to places you probably don't even want to know about ... no, not THERE! What kind of monster do you think I am? Wait, did you mean what city? Oh, that's much more logical. Let's call it in and around "The Lou."

Craziest/funniest TV Squad comment you've seen?
I just love all the comments and "tips" from people that think we ARE television. The people who pitch show and episode ideas to us (do a "Power Rangers" Family Guy!), or ask us to reconsidering programming decisions. We had one where someone asked us to "trick a golf cart" rather than a truck.

If you were only able to watch one TV show, what would it be?
I'm going to go with Late Night, that way I have tons of episodes and it covers the last several decades; I'm giving myself access to the Archives, too. I get both Letterman and O'Brien, tons of celebrity guests and I can keep up with what else is going on that you won't let me watch; why are you being so mean?. I know The Tonight Show goes back farther, but I couldn't take Leno that much ... of course, O'Brien is taking over soon ... hmmm, can I get back to you?

Most overrated and underrated TV show (current or past)?
Most overrated show is the entire CSI franchise, for me. I have a disposition against "procedural" shows where everything is wrapped up in a nice neat bow by the end of every episode and there is rarely any character progression or change. After you've seen a few episodes you know the formula, so what's the point?

Most underrated show for me is Sliders. Bear with me on this. The potential in the concept alone, exploring parallel worlds, is mind-shattering. You could use that model to explore and touch on so many things. Unfortunately, the show quickly collapsed on itself due to a lack of support from FOX and increasingly erratic decisions in casting and its direction when creator Torme left, but a decade later it still captures my imagination like nothing else.

Best benefit of writing for TV Squad?
The benefits are two-fold for me, I love writing and I love keeping up with what's going on in the world of entertainment. To be able to marry those two joys and do so in a forum that provides feedback and communication with such a large and passionate fan-base is amazing; do you like how I've just turned you all into fans of me? I mean, you are, right?

Where else can we see you on the web?
Are you watching me right now? I'm turning off the monitor so you can't see me! You can find my shop at http://www.myspace.com/popbuzz, my blog at http://punches.blogspot.com/ and I'm out there other places... If you found me here you can find me out there. Now stop watching me, you're making me self-conscious about this shirt!

How are you so awesome?
Come on, you have to ask?!
