The site will be scarcely, if at all, updated over the coming days.

In the meantime, I suggest the Hot Off the Press! thread over at AVSForum (there is a link which is updated daily on the right side) for the latest television news and ratings information.

You’ll also see the links to Variety and Hollywood Reporter on the right side as well.

I hope to be back to updating the site full-time by the weekend.
