About Sara

Sara has loved TV as long as she can remember. From early morning viewings of Romper Room and The Muppet Show she was hooked on the 'idiot box'. As a kid she audio-tape recorded shows (no VCR for her family in the 80s) like Bewitched and Little House on the Prairie and then, listened to them over and over, much to the bemusement and dismay of her family. Thankfully, her tastes have gotten much better over the years (though she still loves Bewitched and Little House), but some things never change. She has been known to watch episodes of Sports Night and Arrested Development over and over, much to the bemusement and dismay of her family (and friends!). Her current favorite show on TV right now is Lost, followed closely by Battlestar Galactica (which is the best show you're not watching because you're afraid of sci-fi), and generally thinks her taste in television is not only excellent, but always right. Except when it's, um, you know, not.

About Jen

Everyone that knows me, knows that tv is my altar. As I am not a religious person, I worship each night to the lighted box in my rec room, on my comfy couch with my pug Lulu curled up beside me. (note, I am married, with a personal life...so I am not a total hermit) I am a devoted fan of the DVR and have owned one since they first came out. Now, not only can I watch a tv program, I am no longer responsible enough to know when it is actually on tv, what channel or if it is a dreaded re-run. The DVR puts the "L" in lazy! Once you have one, I dare you to go back.

I have been a tv junkie since the days of Who's the Boss, Growing Pains, Full House, Smurfs and The Cosby Show. Whenever I was in trouble, I was the kid that was grounded from tv, because that was really the only thing that hurt.

My spouse and I have "conversations" regarding my tv lifestyle and how it will affect our future children. (we are in the fertility process..not fun) My theory is with the DVR, I will watch my shows when the kid(s) goes to bed. I have to admit, I do not want my children to be tv junkies, and I will have to lead by example, or so they will think! Maintaining a tv lifestyle can at times, be stressful. (don't laugh) There is only so much tv a girl can watch in a week, and then trying to maintain upkeep of a house, job (yes, I work full time and watch tv full time), family, etc. it can be overwhelming. But, my tv is here to stay, I will be try my hardest to provide commentary and some mild entertainment.
