HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US -- TV WORTH WATCHING IS THREE YEARS OLD! By David Bianculli
 
 
David wrote about TVWW being launched three years earlier on Nov. 5, 2007, the day the television writers went on strike -- and one reader wrote back, "I get so much more enjoyment from television since I started visiting this site a couple years ago.

It's a good, solid examination -- and what's even better are the movies that follow each week's installment...
