TVSquad

Complete BS. I can't believe that this is even on television. I feel like they are trying to air like mini infomercials or something. I almost miss "Project Mojave" now.

Slate magazine already talked about this way more comprehensively and intelligently.

Well said. I also love how the expectation is you must be one or the other.

I totally confirm the sentiments of rndmnme. A massive WTF on this article.


To BOB:
Dude, this is really lame. Thank you for confirming that all of the good writers have left this blog.
We, your readers, really valued your and the rest fo teh other writer's at TV squad'd insight and capacity to write about TV(pilots,shows,movies,reruns). I liked the reviews that you give of shows and the ideas of showing us shows that we should be watching. And then you got corporate, you sold out to the man. And no longer do you discuss any BBC shows or Non US shows(BBC AMERICA doesn't count) or for that matter go into detail about shows that are not in the AOHell TimeWorthless world. (BTW, if you want to talk bout tangental TV stuff how about GE's stock price & the potential to dump NBC or even the idea that your beloved employer is going chapter 11 in the not so distant future.)

Instead, you have simply become a mouthpiece for lame ass marketing and PR departments in traditional media that are going the way of the Edsel. Where are the open ended discussions inviting us in? Where are the NEW discussions? Where are the liveblogs or the epsidoe reviews posted after the episode airs not 10 hours later?

I'd rather watch Entertainment Tonight than read this and I guess I will be .

Adios. You had my respect once but you will never have it again.

Can't say I agree with the 90% of mac owners being douches... But while the mac commercials are 100% douchy; the Microsoft commercials seem pretty honest Less Expensive? CHECK. Larger Selection? CHECK . The Microsoft commercials largely ignore quality and feature comparisons, but whatev... its a god damn commercial. Again, this isn't a commercial blog... it's a TV blog.

And Kip is right... what is going on with this blog? Many of the people who write about these shows don't even like what they're reviewing: Sarah Conner Chronicles? My Boys? I'm not saying these shows are going to win awards... but I don't come to this blog to have my viewing habits insulted. If it weren't for the "What's on Tonight" posts this blog would be history....

oh, and i hate your reviews. i think you can't write.

"crapple fanboys" Hmm. you've obviously never contributed to a Apple bashing thread... (note sarcasm)

Regardless of the claims they make in the commercials, the guy in the first one here is so full of himself, it's disgusting.

heh :)

Of course, you actually know that Macs have supported multiple button mice for, like, forever? And a 4-button mouse has been shipped with Macs for years?

This is an example that the "douchebaggery" accusation that PC fans level at Mac fans is equal to their own snide and obnoxious behavior. The number of PC users slandering Mac users in this comment thread far outnumber the other side, which is an ironic eye-opener. And the only comment I've seen voted down and into oblivion so far is one defending Macs.

Like in politics, each side cherrypicks facts and distorts them.
I can't quite figure out what either side has to gain by firing shots at the other; do people get some sort of referral payment by convincing people to buy into their favorite platform? Are Steve Jobs and Steve Ballmer secretly best pals, standing behind a curtain and laughing all the way to the bank as the observe the war they set in motion?

I feel rather stupid for having opened my big yap and adding to the fire.

Yeah, saying that Macs use a one button mouse and using the term "crapple" won't convince any Apple fanatics that they're being douche bags.
