21Feb 09I just got out of the hospital, 22 days in ICU. My first time in any hospital, and I am a lucky guy. I ingested some poison and could easily have passed. I had a great doctor and kidney specialist, and today I was told that my vital organs are in perfect shape. It's a revelation and a miracle. I'm looking forward to working on my guides in the next few days, and thanks to all who wished me support.

23Mar 08I've just completed my latest guide - the 2000 reincarnation of Twenty-One. I still have some summaries to correct, and some notes, quotes, crew, etc. to add, but at least the episode list is complete, and most of the pertinent information is in place. You'd be surprised at how difficult it is to confirm some of the information for a series that is only 8 years old. But thanks to GSN reruns through the night, it has taken shape. Also thanks to Steve@tvgameshows.net for some inside fun facts and a personal history of the NBC production.
Sadly, though, one of my favorite gameshows, (and the only one that gets regular submissions), Lingo is officialy on hiatus, at least for this year. It is apparently up to the producers whether to bring it back for a seventh season, and GSN just lost the online gaming rights for the show.- Posted Mar 23, 2008 10:07 am PT

23Jun 07So glad that level bug is fixed, it really did a number on people this time. So to celebrate reaquiring my submitting ability, I picked up a new game show, Chain Reaction. I submitted enough episodes to gain the editorship, and so I have some work to do. Thanks, staff, for accepting my subs within an hour or two. I knew there was a prior version of this show, with Bill Cullen, but I didn't know there were over 700 episodes! This is going to be quite a challenge. I'll do what I can, a handful at a time, and I have no idea where I may find the sources for a show from the 80's, but research is interesting. Since my only really active guide, Lingo, is airing the last week of its season, I will have some time. I hope those bugs don't return to interfere.

18Jun 07It seems I've been demoted to level one, and lost a couple of icons. Please, staff, I didn't mean to do it, and it will never happen again. I swear I didn't misspell those words on purpose, really! And I promise I'll be more dilligent in completing my guides from now on. And it wasn't me who started that wind-up thread on the editor's lounge board - they've stolen my password, I swear. Oh, and I'll only give rave reviews from now on. Please, can I have my icons back?
Edit: Oh no, I've lost another icon.- Posted Jun 18, 2007 6:20 am PT

I dug up another VH1 documentary with a guide that needs work, 'Ultimate Albums'. Not to be confused with 'Classic Albums', though similar in nature and in its approach - some albums have even featured on both shows - I enjoy doing the research for this type of show, and love the music. Also, thanks tv.com for giving 'I've Got a Secret (2006)' a guide. It's a fun show that's taping season 2 currently. I intend to work on that one with a close online friend. And the Turkey Emblem - awesome - thanks.
Edit: I've Got A Secret started taping season 2, but apparently the GSN folks thought it was getting too campy/sexual with its choice of secrets, so it is officially on hold. Personally I think that is the dumbest thing they could do. COME ON, GSN, you don't mind showing promo clips of the match game's raciest moments, and Paul Lynde or Charles N. Reilly at their 'campiest'. Still it may be picked up by LOGO or some other channel. Wonder if that is the reason Stacy was replaced by Shandi on 'Lingo'?

4Nov 06I happened to come across some of Vh1's musical documentaries that were in disarray, and nobody was contributing to. So I have been working on completing the guides for 'Behind The Music', 'Storytellers', and 'Classic Albums'. Since Vh1 Classic has just started presenting many of the episodes, it makes the effort seem more relevant and worthwhile. Also, thanks to the new category of quotes for the person guides, I picked up the editorship for one of my all-time favorite actors, Jeremy Brett.
