Hi. My name is Matt. I watch a lot of television. Like, a lot a lot. I just wanted to introduce myself, which is about all I have time for, given that I’m writing this on my lunch break during a particularly hellish night here at the video store. If you decide to frequent this corner of the blog (and you should), you’ll find the semi-regular rantings of someone who believes that television is a vastly misunderstood and, to put it mildly, criminally misused medium. Here you will not find Salon.com-style hissyfits about the latest reality show, nor will you find Tom Shales-like, curmudgeony cranks arguing for the classy stuff.

A quick rundown: I have never watched an entire episode of House. I despise reality shows (except for The Simple Life, but that’s neither here nor there). I only watched CSI: Miami because David Caruso cracks me so consistently up. The ending of The Sopranos was really fitting and good. Also, just to start us all off on the right wavelength, you will hear repeatedly from me that The Wire is the finest piece of art the medium has ever produced. And I am always right.

Coming up next: John from Cincinnati, Forgotten Masterpiece — Concerning the predominant stupidity of Deadwood fans and the great disservice they have done themselves.
