		<title>Lamenting the Predictably Short Life of Party Down</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Confirmation came this morning that Starz, as most assumed, was done with its commitment to Party Down after Friday&#8217;s season finale. Ratings were dismal and in little over a year, most of the original cast had been cannibalized by pilots. And when Adam Scott signed on for a lead role in NBC&#8217;s Parks &#38; Recreation, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ghost-ip Girl: Acknowledging Pretty Little Liars</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pretty Little Liars may not technically qualify as a TV series—it&#8217;s a weekly, hour-long advertisement for Verizon&#8217;s KIN—but folks are buzzing and for the past few weeks it&#8217;s been the most appealing addition to Hulu. So I&#8217;m going to write about it. First of all, I cannot stop stop referring to it as Dirty Little [...]]]></description>

		<title>Looking Back at Treme&#8216;s Slightly Taxing First Season</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The first 10 episodes of Treme wrapped up Sunday night, and I&#8217;m sort of relieved. Even with the dearth of summer programming, watching in recent weeks had become a bit of a chore. Not that I don&#8217;t like it, I just need a break. Investing 10 hours into a series without ever pinning down its [...]]]></description>

		<title>In Lieu of Tonight&#8217;s True Blood Recap, a Song</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week I moved across the country just to be close to the buzzing heart of television. In the long run, this is awesome. In the short run, I am without cable for at least another week and going slightly crazy because of it. So as all of you enjoyed your homemade Sunday dinners with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bones Recap: &#8220;The Beginning in the End&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I friggin&#8217; love Bones. I love it in spite of the fact that, on paper, it&#8217;s one of those conventional and formulaic series tailor made for retirees. That might even make me love it more, because during the worst, most procedural episodes, it remains committed to telling the long-running story of some of the most [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Umpteenth Serving of Humble Pie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hey, it&#8217;s 2009. My last three attempts to resurrect MLTV turned out to be pretty sad, but you might say that this time I&#8217;m resolved to make this recently renewed URL viable once again. If anything, it&#8217;s just time to push that pesky photo of Lauren Conrad off the front page. So the fall season [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are You There TV? It&#8217;s Me, Mikey.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s no easy or remotely excusable way to try to justify the neglect with which I&#8217;ve treated our relationship. I can only apologize and admit that the sheer abundance of your new programming is such that I must one again engage this medium in my rambling, amateurish analyses and giddy speculation. (I also need a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Desperate Housewives Finale Timewarp</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the year 2013, Katherine is a part of the inner circle of housewives. Gabby is fat, has two fat children, and her skin does not seem to be faring well from the years and years of excessive makeup. Bree is some sort of Martha Stewart-esque celebrity with a fondness for dressing like a Victorian [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For four days the upfronts happened, and they were blogged about, and it was good. More important still, someone can taste the identity of that fifth cylon on Battlestar Galactica. And I may agree. BuzzSugar got the awesome opportunity to chat with the adorable Bret Harrison (a.k.a. Sam the bounty hunter for the Devil) about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Upfronts 2008: So… You Think You Can Stop Dancing?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My silence may be eerie, but I’m sneakily still very much liking TV. In fact, I just got in from the Fox upfront party. It’s been an exhausting and kind of uneventful week, but what better excuse to touch base than the TV equivalent of prom? So this year marked my first in-person upfront experience, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reality Week: Work Out Returns</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;These are the hands of Michelangelo&#8230;” It still doesn&#8217;t make sense, but it sure as hell never stops being funny. I love how much the cast of Work Out loves themselves. Jackie&#8217;s narcissism, Rebecca&#8217;s narcissism, Jesse&#8217;s narcissism and Brian Peeler&#8217;s über narcissism are kind of confusing in how they&#8217;ve survived two seasons of seeing how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reality Week: The Paper</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Of the countless reality series chronicling life in high school to pop up in the past couple of years, none looked like it would more closely resemble my own secondary education than The Paper. Not because I was on the school newspaper (I totally was), but because no other show has chosen to focus on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reality Week: ¡Viva Hollywood! Está Loco</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Within the first five minutes of Vh1&#8242;s ¡Viva Hollywood! I realized that I know nothing about Hispanic American popular culture. Almost just as soon it became clear that my life is seriously suffering for that fact. The show is the newest in a crop of reality competitions debuting on the cable network this month, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>In Treatment: Long, Depressing &amp; Weird (But in a Good Way)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Something I’ve learned over the last nine weeks: If you stare at Gabriel Byrne&#8217;s face for long enough, it begins to look grossly asymmetrical. Seriously, that right eye has got to be about a half an inch lower than the left one. (Maybe from all of that thoughtful nodding?) Then again, 43 episodes of In [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Monthly Buffy Indulgence Returns!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Of the various MLTV efforts that have recently lapsed, none seems more criminal than snubbing my monthly coverage of the Buffy comic book series. This is easily explained though. The Faith-centric, Brian K. Vaughan-penned arc that wrapped up in December didn’t really do it for me, and when it comes to the Buff, if I [...]]]></description>
