As a fan of Television Without Pity — the place I first read about "Hey, It's That Guy!"* — I feel I have to be a fan of Previously.TV So far, all I do is follow them on Facebook, and I rarely click the links to read the posts or go directly to the site to see what they have to say about anything.
Today, though, I spotted some familiar names in the link to A Closet Case: Reconsidering Entertainment Weekly's 1997 Fall TV Preview — I remembered them as hi-larious people who wrote for another tv-related site I used to follow, TeeVee.
Amazingly enough, I couldn't remember the name of the old site right away and had to do a lot of Googling, but that's ok because it led me to (a) discovering their podcasts on The Incomparable and (b) learning that there's a chance that TWoP may be resurrected!
I still have my TWoP "Spare the Snark, Spoil the Networks" t-shirt, but I think I got rid of my TeeVee shirt long before the Great Purge of 2013. (Drink!)
* I even got the book -- and I still have the book, despite The Great Purge of 2013, aka the ruthless culling of my books, CDs, DVDs, and clothes that I conducted when I moved out of my apartment and which has become the basis for my own personal drinking game whenever I encounter a reference to something I used to have.
