Ken Levine continues to make me laugh:

You can tell the screenwriters from the TV writers on the picket line. TV writers all know each other, say hello, march in little groups. Screenwriters are used to being alone. You see them walking by themselves, scanning the line, desperately looking for someone they recognize… who hasn’t rewritten them.

who hasn’t rewritten them.

BWHAHAHA!

Do the script doctors march with stethescopes around their necks? With signs that say, "I help make crappy movies a little less crappy"?

in addition to being, in all likelihood, the best television series ever created

Heh. I feel like Jacob says this of every show he recaps.

I feel like Jacob means it about every show he recaps.

I'm just thankful that this time he's dissecting something I haven't the slightest interest in watching. I was scared he'd become the Brothers & Sisters recapper for a bit.

You're missing some good Ho-yay, IJS.

Is he really serious? I like the rest of his rant, but damn. Hyperbole much?

He hasn't given an episode any less than an A all season (nine episodes so far). Which, I think, is the best track record I've seen on TWoP. (As Gris said to me, he kind of screwed himself over on the grading system by giving the pilot an A+...because every subsequent episode has been better than the pilot.)

He gave the pilot an A, actually. Then a whole lot of A+'s. There've been a couple of other A's since.

To be fair, the audience has given every episode but the pilot an A or A+, and the pilot was a B+. So it's pretty well liked by us non-recappers too. It's my favorite show on TV right now, far and away.

I tried very hard to like Gossip Girl but I just couldn't do it.
