    QQOTD: Grey’s Anatomy is my all time favorite TV show. It has trumped many of the other ones that I used to like, but not to say that they have fallen out of my heart.

    I hate to sound like a shameless suckup, but I love WLTV. I work on TV shows and I love the spontaneity. I also love Sopranos (dead), Lost, Deadwood (dead), Simpsons, The new Battlestar Galactica & 30 Rock.

    Gary V – you rock!

WHY WHY WHY (my QOTD)is popular television such CRAP?? American Idol?? Dancing with the Stars?? Seriously WTF??? I am not a TV snob but the CRAP that is on now is appaulling and just plain insulting to my intelligence. Expand your Mind and your Palate. Turn that sh*t off
