For Better or Werts

SITE TO SEE: TVParty.com

You can hear the bebop, smell the incense or feel the disco beat -- whatever tube era you'd like to revisit, you can immerse yourself at the video-and-memory-crammed site TVParty.com.

Singalong jingles? Even local shows. You want it, you got it, with mind-boggling video streams, nostalgic photos, astute essays, and so much affection for the tube, it's practically suffocating.

So smother me, already, I'm a TVParty hound. I can burn hours on end wandering the site's backroads (they call 'em the TVParty Plus "archives"), which you can access for two months at a one-time charge of $5. It's like an all-you-can-eat buffet -- you don't wanna go there all the time, but when you do, time to pork out! TVParty Plus offers an additional 50 hours of streaming memories and strangeness.

Not that there isn't plenty to gobble for free at the regular TVParty page, which has been delighting tubeheads like me for the past 14 years. Among the recent hallucinatory thrills:

Wade in and wallow!

Diane Werts

Diane Werts has been glued to the tube since she can remember, growing up in a household where the TV came on first thing in the morning and stayed on till bedtime and beyond. She worked for the USA Film Festival, then for The Dallas Morning News writing about everything from Shakespeare to macrame art to rock music (and has the hearing loss to prove it). She moved to New York's Newsday to edit their glossy TV magazine, then returned to writing about television, specializing in its stranger permutations. She's a past president of the Television Critics Association.
