This site has become awful for glaring spoilers in the headlines.

Around here, we call it the ‘Barsanti’. 

Why are people not allowed to talk about the decline of this website and what it has become? Why should we have to shut up and not have our voices listened to about what we see as a major decline in a website that we loved? 

My own opinion, which is seemingly shared with about 90% of commenters these days, is that you are a lazy hack, reaching for an article. 

I miss Sean O’Neal and Emily VanDerWerff so much. I still occasionally read Emily’s stuff on Vox but it still isn’t the same as The AV Club in 2010. 

This is kind of pilot redo is relatively rare in the TV world, though some of the biggest TV shows in history had to reshoot their pilots before figuring things out (Game Of Thrones and Seinfeld being too famous examples), so maybe this means The CW’s Powerpuff Girls will end up being one of the best shows ever made?

I loved the Gallagher one just because he was so forthcoming with his stories/feelings and just seems like such a great guy. But yeah, RB and MC clearly aren’t BFFs, which I’m mostly fine with, they still have a good back and forth. It’s less chummy than the Scrubs one, but I’m actually alright with that seeing as…

I kind of wonder who will be TBH: I’d be semi surprised if Ben McKenzie or Adam Brody came on, as they seem to have put a bit of distance between themselves and this time in their lives. Before this article, I’d seen some more positive comments from Mischa Barton about her time on The OC, but guess this might be the…

I seem to be in a small minority that like the Oliver storyline. The Johnny storyline, meh, not so much, Ryan Donowho was pretty woeful.

Dowd is a fantastic reviewer and the best thing that remains of this site. 

Newswire under Sean O’Neal used to be the absolute best thing on this site.

This is great news.

So many months ago.

Great interview, Dowd. 

This place used to be absolute nirvana for TV Show Reviews. What I would do for Emily VanDerWerff’s writing to be back here. Her Sopranos reviews are absolutely magnificent and luckily are persevered; I had the good fortune of being able to read along with them last year. I’m also sad that John Teti’s Six Feet Under…

I was thinking just this morning how much the TV Club is a shadow of its former self. Emily VanDerWerff’s Sopranos reviews (and all her TV Club work TBF) are absolutely amazing, and I miss something of that calibre so much. 

Also, I don’t deny that there is great stuff on major streaming services.

I feel like a conversation about the distinction between cinema/television/content is worth having, particularly as terms like “binge watching” do not appear to stir as many negative connotations in the general public as they do in me.

But he’s right. And it’s not because the industry has moved passed him like you suggest, it’s because with a glut of everything, it has added to diminish artistic value

Yesterday it was an article about a Chinatown prequel being about ‘Chinatown things’ and today it’s an article about Lucy In The Sky being ‘about space, among... other things.’
