TV For The Rest of Us

TV For The Rest of Us - Welcome To The Site

Written by Alice Jester

I know, the template is a little crude.  Just like with The Winchester Family Business, hubby and I will be constantly tweaking the format, adding features, making it more usable for the common man.  In the meantime, this was the best thing we could throw together before this week's Comic Con.  The Red Headed Monster had to go.  The template was buggy, and too many people when they heard the name thought of Elmo.  No, it wasn't a children's oriented site.  

This site doesn't even have a URL yet, because I'm testing out the name.  TV For The Rest Of Us was inspired by none other than Frank Costanza, the absolutely insane father of George Costanza on Seinfeld.  He created his own holiday, Festivus, because he was tired of the commericalism of Christmas.  The tagline was "Festivus for the rest of us." 

Basically, I'm sick of most TV blogs out there.  They're loaded with gossip hounds and plenty of people rehasing the same news by linking to other sites when one gets a nugget.  Not that there aren't good sites out there, but the bad outweigh the good.  I get there are slow times, and filler must be done.  Heck, I just devoted an entire in depth article on The Winchester Family Business to a main character's hair.  Even in the busy times though, most of what I read isn't entertaining.   

Very few out there try to take TV and undercover what's good about it.  Now, thanks to Twitter, it's been more diluted than ever.  My goal is to do with TV blogging to what Jon Stewart did for cable TV news.  Turn it into an appreciable medium, but have loads of fun with it.  Thus, TV for the rest of us.  

To access the site, go to www.jesterz.net  or www.thewinchesterfamilybusiness.com and click on the link.  I hope this will be the place you think to come to as the TV season revs up in the next few months.  In the meantime, my Comic Con reports will be here.  No, you won't be getting high profile reports about all the mega publicized events in Hall H.  You'll be getting reports from the smaller rooms and events, the ones that the high profile media outlets wouldn't dare cover!  I'm finding my niche.  Either that, or I'll give up because of the impossible crowds and you can read about my sightseeing adventures with the family.  Tune in to see what happens!
