He's got all of Kroll Show for this season banked, so he'll stay on that through March. And he'll be in the TV Roundtable through mid-April, too. But after that, he can't write for us anymore because Atlantic doesn't allow freelancing.

There's not a lot of reason to do reviews of older shows unless they're coming to DVD, and the TV on DVD market has slowed considerably from where it was a few years ago.

The term "showrunner" is used at least a few times in The Sweeps, which was published in '84, I believe.

I believe the only show other than Suburgatory that has ever aired for any length of time after MF that is still on ABC is The Neighbors, which is not long for this world.

I LOVE The Loop.

I am definitely an outlier on this one, but I'm comfortable there. There's a lot to like in this show.

Nobody's decided anything on TV Club Classic. It may run for years to come; it may not. It really depends on how many people read it and how many shows we have left to cover that we think will be worth covering on a week-to-week basis.

Here's Firefly: http://www.avclub.com/tv/fi…

It will be back sometime. Coding these things is always more difficult than me telling you it will be back. But they are working on it!

Erik is on staff, so this is basically just up to him.

Probably it will be covered. Just a matter of working out logistics. But it had surprisingly low readership. I figured that one would be a slam dunk.

Comments on just about any site are less helpful as metrics of how many people are reading than they were even a year ago. This is because so many people are reading on phones and tablets now, and who has time to comment on a phone or tablet?

Joe Reid took another job, so we're rethinking what they'll look like.

We will be sometime this year. Alasdair is doing Doctor Who right now, though, so it won't be until after that.

It does very well. I think the key is that The Blacklist's audience is fairly old and, thus, less likely to want to read episodic reviews on the Internet.

Yep. They'll be back. Just be patient.

Breaking Bad is obliquely mentioned in half of one paragraph. It is explicitly referenced in one stray observation. I just calculated. Less than five percent of the review is about Breaking Bad. How is that "more about Breaking Bad than the X-Files" except in terms of your own insecurities about not having seen the…

We've frequently discussed the shows X-Files creative personnel went on to do in these reviews.

Part of TV Club Classic reviews that's cool is that we can place the episodes in historical context—both what came before them AND what came after them. It's not like the Breaking Bad references have taken over either of these reviews. It's just mentioned because that show's one of the most critically acclaimed ever…

Oh, and then I came home, and Sonia, who had also been out all day, was all, "I CAN WRITE UP THE HEROES MINISERIES!" so I did what any good lazy person would do and delegated.
