    2010: mostly sucked, nobody seemed to be paying attention, but a few real highlights. Truly, it was the NBC programming of years.

    If you are oddly dressed, attractive women will laugh at you and deny you the right to purchase Miller Light. #greatmomentsinadvertising

    "Jersey Shore premiere draws 8.4 million viewers. It's like we've admitted we have a problem, but are not going to do anything about it." -- aseroff Andrew Seroff


    "It's weird (the article on Aaron Sorkin's process). It mentions nothing about mushrooms or cocaine." -- noelrk Noel Kirkpatrick

    I'm laughing at all these tweets. And I can feel the death stares. I am not "bringing my best self." AND SHE'S STILL TALKING.

    Oprah and I are in the dorm room, and it's 3 a.m., and this is all pretty deep, man. #tca

    I want an "Oprah 18:15" t-shirt. RT @sepinwall: Confirmed: the #oprahfilibuster lasted 18 minutes and 15 seconds.

    Room still very flat. HBO must be thinking, "What in the hell happened to these critics?" I'll tell you what happened. Oprah happened.

    How awful must David E. Kelley's "Wonder Woman" pitch have been? Did he pitch Kathy Bates as Wonder Woman?

    Right now, @sepinwall and @HitFixDaniel are energetically dueting to "Better Man." They're either in love or trying out for Idol. #fox #tca

    'Finally, someone who's really watching the show!' exclaims Olyphant when a critic compares Raylan/Boyd to Hope and Crosby. #FX #TCA

    ABC says it wants to put the Incredible Hulk on TV. Without revealing too much: Best. Season of 'The Bachelor.' Ever.

    I think it's a good thing that Dan Harmon watches so much TV. It's important for TV writers to be TV fans. Otherwise you get Tim Kring.

    I won't decide how I feel about Ricky Gervais's hosting job until Robert J. Thompson tells me what it all says about today's zeitgeist.

    When JLo asked "how did you do this for 10 years,"I felt like she was reprimanding me for watching #idol. Consider channel changed.

    Okay, I did it. I watched #PerfectCouples. & it did make me hate. Deeply. I now hate marriage, privilege, and all white people. Thanks, NBC.

    Reaction when one reads the FCC's byzantine conditions on NBC-Comcast: "Christ, how could they think this was better than just nixing it?"
