TV Worth Watching Blog

December 15, 2007 - Easier Than Rolling Off a Blog

pleasestandby400.jpg



By mere coincidence, the writers' strike and TV WORTH WATCHING began the exact same day, on November 5. Ever since, I've written every single day - and every single day, they haven't. Something's gotta give... so, beginning today, I'm giving up writing a blog on weekends.

I'll continue to write daily, providing BIANCULLI'S BEST BETS. But the seven-day-a-week column/blog pace is killing me, so I thought, while this website is still young (more than I can say for myself), I'd establish a weekends-off blog pattern.

I may break my own rule, but for now, when I'm not supplying a new blog on weekends, I'll post the test pattern below instead.

Enjoy your weekend. I plan to.

I've been reading your column every day online just like I used to every day in the NY Daily News. Good for you, take a break, you deserve it, and, hey, there's nothing on TV tonight to recommend anyway! Heh heh.

While I will miss new episodes of Pushing Daisies and Big Bang Theory (and later Gossip Girl), I'm looking forward to the writers strike going on a LONG time so I can catch up on watching my big backlog of Japanese anime and then start on my backlog of TV on DVD sets. :)

Happy Holidays!

David Bianculli

Behind David in the picture is the first TV owned by his father, Virgil Bianculli, a 1946 Raytheon. (The TV, not his father. His father was a 1923 Italian.)

David Bianculli has been a TV critic since 1975, including a 14-year stint at the New York Daily News, and sees no reason to stop now. Currently, he's TV critic for NPR's Fresh Air, occasional substitute host for that show's Terry Gross, and teaches TV and film history at New Jersey's Rowan University. His most recent book is 2009's Dangerously Funny: The Uncensored Story of 'The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour,' and he's at work on another.
