A few months ago, I
bemoaned the fact that not one Squadder was included in
Broadcasting & Cable magazine's fall critics poll. I mean, we're critics, sort of; I just thought that the survey was incomplete without at least some opinions from everyone's favorite TV blog.
Well, anyway, now we're on
B&C's radar, because they sent us a ballot for their year-end poll. In all, 67 critics were polled on what they thought was the best and worst on television in 2006.
The Wire was voted Best Show and Best Drama, while
The Office was voted Best Comedy. You can see the results
here. They even published
a few choice quotes in their "BC Beat" blog, including not one, but
two quotes from Squadders (Anna and yours truly). Now,
that'
s more like it!

If you're a fan of G4's
Attack of the Show, you may have been lucky enough to catch a glimpse of some of us Squadders. But, since we've never promoted our appearances in advance, our glowing faces on your TV screens may have come as a surprise to you.
Well, this week,we're going to ruin the surprise. TV Squadders will be appearing on
AoTS not once, but
twice this week, both on the show's debate segment, "The Loop":
Tonight, I get to trundle on down to a satellite studio in New York to argue about
Saturday Night Live. From what I understand, my fellow panelists are going to be Mindy Sterling (who played Frau on
Austin Powers).
On Wednesday, Anna will talk about the season premiere of Lost. Since she's a big fan and somewhat of an expert on it, we asked her to represent us in the debate about the show. I wish her luck; I've been on this segment before, and she's going to need all the luck she can get.
(UPDATE: Due to a scheduling conflict, it looks like Anna's appearance isn't going to happen. Oh, well.)So tune in or fire up the DVR. The show airs from 7-8 PM ET; "The Loop" segment usually airs around 7:10 or so.
