I have mentioned several times that I am a n00b when it comes to watching and enjoying television. With that in mind, Television Without Pity is an amazing resource, for both the novice and expert fans or critics. After playing around on the site for several days, I have picked out some of my favorite features of the site.
The coolest feature award goes to...
Going Through Channels! Looking for something to watch on TV tonight? Then look no further than this blog! Going Through Channels is an excellent way to find something new or interesting to watch; it seems to point out when specific (and oft-hyped) specials, season finales, or show premieres are set to air, along with a short description.
The funniest feature award goes to...
Brilliant but Cancelled! Snarky and full of contempt for the networks that have thrown out some perfectly viable/laughable/cliched shows, this feature will certainly provide hours of entertainment. For example, Clone High! Why did you have to grace our tubes for such a short time... you were so brilliant! A jocky JFK? A love-obsessed Joan of Arc? GHETTO GHANDI?! Pure genius! Also, why a show based off Twitter user @shitmydadsays won't work, Fox cancelling yet another hit show, and teen angst in the 90s. Roflcopter down!
The most informative award goes to...
Recaps! (Or for 30 Rock, "Weecaps".) This is a wonderfully handy tool - you can find recaps for most shows on specific show pages. From what I've read so far, most of the recaps are extremely involved and an excellent way to refresh your memory, to catch elements of the show that you missed, or for a good chuckle.

The weecaps we share as the most informative, and it's pretty obvious why. Great to see we both enjoyed Brilliant but Cancelled as well. You're pretty great with the site!
ReplyDeleteSeems you and TWoP have got on rather well, I agree with everything you mentioned. I also think the weecaps are pretty funny and the nightly listings of when things are on is way easier than channel surfing.
ReplyDeleteI loved the brilliant but cancelled part, that was my favorite. And the recaps do a pretty good job at tying the episodes up swiftly and witty.
