Heather Havrilesky

She's just the best TV writer in the business. And it's nice to be able to say this in a public forum! Go Heather!

Bravo

Damn girl, that is an extremely well written article. I don't know you or anything, but that piece flowed and was funny. You's got mad journalizm skills yo!

Good shows too. Bravo.

Not just the best; THE best

And this column proves it again. She is my favorite writer on the net, period. End of story.

Thank you...

...thank you, thank you for writing about Arrested Development, but I have to point out that it's on at 8pm on Fox, not 9pm as the article states! It's a weekly 30 minutes of sheer genius and though it gets attention from critics, lately that attention has been mostly devoted to dire cancellation predictions. It's the funniest show on TV, bar none, and your comparisons to classic Simpsons are apt. It should be a hit of comparable stature to the Simpsons as well...please watch it everybody!

Thanks Heather!

Hi Heather,

I read your column every week and love your analysis of tvland. I just wanted to say thanks for supporting Arrested Development. It really is the best show on television, and only gets better each season. Keep up the pitch perfect reviews of my other faves as well. ANTM is back in full glory this season, after a bit of a train wreck last year. Not that train wrecks are bad TV, but I'm enjoying the return to actual competition that this season has stumbled onto. I still can't decide if Nip/Tuck has jumped the shark (see: frat boy cheek surgery) or if it's just better than ever. They are walking a fine line. Anyway, I am a loyal fan, and look forward to reading your articles each week.

Thanks!

Angela
