Aw, I would be tunnel buddies with Badger.

NaNoWriMo Thread for 11/13

We don't do many TV Club Classics during the TV season, because we need the resources for currently running stuff. That's the way it's always been!

I am not dicking you around. I told my wife we could either go to my sister's in Boise or the wedding of two commenters in St. Louis. She really hates going up to Boise, so you might get your wish!

I don't know who you are, but I am half considering attending this.

The first four seasons of The Good Wife are on Hulu and Amazon. Enjoy.

I would never dream of resurrecting that feature. It was Noel's, and it should stay with him.

It is not intended as a putdown. What I am saying is that there is a very small, finite audience for stuff about TV from before 1990. I wish to keep catering to that audience, but it's not like it's huge.

100 Episodes and TV Club 10 will continue to cover older television, yes.

Dobie is apparently still in progress. Nobody tells me anything.

No because Quantum Leap didn't make it to 100 Episodes. We did it in TV Club 10, though.

Thank you! But I have access to pageview numbers. I know you and four of your friends checked that out and, like, nobody else.

Well, I mean, there's simply no way you could look at them as viable outside of just really wanting to keep the feature going, which we've done for two years now. They lose money. That's unfortunate, but it's also true.

Scrubs we also ended because Myles genuinely thought going past season three would be like getting blood from a stone in terms of finding new things to say about the show. We briefly discussed doing season eight, but that seems like it would be too great of a jump.

WKRP would absolutely be on my list, but I think the DVD was such a botch, and the episodes past season one aren't widely available. It's just not the kind of thing people could even FIND.

"Proper journalism" would technically be writing about only current shows and probably the most-watched ones, because that would be what would be of the most interest and benefit to the public, theoretically.

As mentioned in the nominations article, we are writing about it next week, so it wasn't eligible.

We are covering the Cheers episode next week.

We are excluding Buffy because we literally did an episode of Buffy a month ago.

I guarantee you a review of Freaks And Geeks will be getting more readers in a year than a review of The Michael J. Fox Show. But those readers are probably going to be in the dozens, not even the hundreds. (Probably nobody will be reading the MJF review.) There's simply not a way to monetize a long tail, unless that…
