Down the tubes

You know, I really used to love Television Without Pity. Many a work project was delayed because I just had to read this-or-that episode recap. I could spend hours trolling the site and reading the forums.

Alas, no more. The site was sold to Bravo about a year ago. While before the site mainly focused on 1-hour dramas of varying calibers. Post-Bravo (an NBC-owned network) the site add a bunch of sitcoms and not-so-recapable shows. Then a ton of other content and all the graphics were changed and it looks like a hot mess. Making matters worse, a few months ago the founders, Sars and Wing Chun left and since then several other regular recappers have bailed. Going corporate is just never good.

I still check out the site for the occasional L&O recap, but I could not care less about My Name is Earl. I really wish they would pare down the shows they cover and focus on putting out good recaps again (because even the quality of the 'caps isn't that great anymore).

At least, I still have the archives (for now).
