You should be wary of that HERE.

Well, Millennium was a much less popular show than X-Files and also not generally available on streaming.

Look, season nine is a mess, but I am so happy we get to finish out this show.

Nobody would read it!

We pay our freelance writers (like Zack) by the piece. So there's a "break even" point at which we start making money in terms of pageviews. These articles generally fall under that point, but because I'm writing half of them (and I am salaried), we can sort of skate by. If it dropped too much lower, though, it would…

Nah. Because we don't know for sure what it looks like!

For various legal reasons, we can't do this. But I've asked about it.

We did Millennium at a time when TV Club Classic reviews were generally more widely read, and, honestly, adding Millennium on to X-Files nearly killed the feature. We lost about 2,500 pageviews because of that move.

That would be lucky to get 1,000 pageviews. Even with me writing half of them, we'd lose a lot of money on it.

It was a near thing that we even got to cover the whole run of The X-Files or Twilight Zone! Introducing another show into the mix surely would have scuttled the whole thing, and both X-Files and Twilight Zone are considerably more important to TV history.

This review does not once contain any of those phrases or anything even remotely close to them.

I believe we've since added "to date" to make that more clear.

We've explained at length all of these decisions.

I really don't think we've played much of a part at all in the Homeland backlash. My reviews have been, on the whole, much more positive than the reviews in most publications, and even if you disagree with that notion, the A.V. Club is pretty far off the mainstream radar. The show got blanked at the Golden Globes…

I still like Homeland quite a bit, but if I'm listing only five drama series on TV, then I'm almost certainly not listing it.

Orphan Black is a U.S. co-production and, thus, not an acquisition.

We had far too many arguments about the worth of Broadchurch to include it in the main list. Some people really HATED it.

This is a great idea.

Returned made our list on Sundance day last week.

Piecat is a bit of dialogue I misheard a few episodes back, and I got very sad he didn't actually exist. He is a small grey tabby in a party hat and monocle, and he always has a fork and knife out for a piece of pie that sits in front of him. The pie is seasonally appropriate.
