Craziest/Funniest TV Squad Comment?I was shocked (SHOCKED!) to find out that I'm a moron. Apparently, not everyone agrees with my opinions about Chuck.
If you were only able to watch one TV show, what would it be?
If we're talking desert island, I'd have a portable DVD with unlimited battery power to watch The Dick Van Dyke Show. If we're talking right now, today, here and now, I would watch Breaking Bad. If you let me have two, I'd add Burn Notice.
Most overrated and underrated TV show (current or past)?
Overrated: All In the Family. Sorry, it just doesn't age well and I was never a big fan at the time.
Underrated: The Gilmore Girls. Yes, the critics loved it, but no Emmys. That's just not right.
Best benefit of writing for TV Squad?
Getting the chance to see something on TV and have the chance to comment on it in a public forum where I know real television fans are reading my thoughts.
Where else can we see you on the web?
TVWeek.com; check out the archives for all the interviews and TV business stories I've written. For my soap opera thoughts, SoapCentral.com. Also, I've written The Barbra Streisand Scrapbook, so I'm on a lot of Barbra Streisand web sites, especially Barbra-Archives.com, BarbraNews.com, and SimplyStreisand.com/forum, where I hang out with other Streisand fans.
If you were able to interview a TV character -- not the actor or actress -- who would it be?
I'd want to do lunch -- not a state dinner -- with President Jed Bartlett from The West Wing.

Allison,
I saw you posted some info about Boardwalk Empire and thought you'd be interested in this Mark Wahlberg bit done by a local sports radio station in Dallas (1310 AM "The Ticket"):
