McEwan and A. Buck Short, who are always a good read.<br /><br />So, all I want to say is: Four more years!

I visit your site just about every day - it's a never-fail source of information, entertainment, insights, and little blue-maned ponies who soar over glittery rainbows (just threw in that last one to see if you were paying attention.) Typically there are some genuine laughs in there as well - not a bad way to start the day!<br /><br />Love it all: The snark, the pathos, the edu-tainment. My favorite posts are the Idol recaps, the behind-the-scenes stories, and the Friday questions ... but I read and enjoy them all. I was even riveted by your writers' strike coverage. The added bonus for me is the troupe of regular commenters - Douglas, Mary Stella, VP81955, Curmudgeon, Great Big Radio Guy, and the rest of the crew. What an erudite, interesting bunch of folks hang out here; being part of that is like sitting at the cool kids' table in middle school!<br /><br />Oh, me: Ruth, just about 49 YO (the screen nick is from a few years ago, obviously), from the very northern Philly 'burbs. Currently unemployed - thank you, economic crisis - and trying not to lose my mind while job searching. Found your blog close to its inception, via a link posted on either the MASH or CHEERS forum on (the old version of) TWoP. <br /><br />Mazel tov again, Ken - can't wait to see what's in store over the next four years!

I don't recall where I found your blog, but once I did, I found my morning coffee ( and, more than just occasionally, my evening cocktail. You've made me laugh and you've made me cry.

Maybe someday.<br /><br />I said this in another comment, I'm a Credit reader, and if I like a TV show or a movie or whatever, I start reading credits and figuring out who's responsible, and then see what else they've done. I can't remember exactly how I saw this blog on my search engine results, but I recognized your name and wanted to look. And because I love Hollywood/TV behind-the-scenes stuff, I've been devouring this blog like a bowl of ice cream. <br /><br />Same thing happened when I was looking at your blogroll. Earl Pomerantz?! I know that dude! (Not literally--I just recognized the name). So now I'm working through his blog. I feel like I struck a gold vein and there's no end in sight.<br /><br />So it's fascinating to me to read this stuff and see reference to people whose names I know but rarely get ink elsewhere: Patchett & Tarses, David Lloyd. I'm hoping Ed. Weinberger's in here somewhere.<br /><br />Thank you for making his blog. I love anecdotes--funny, serious, insightful, trivial, whatever. I hope you continue to enjoy sharing it with us for a long time to come.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02753360146107174303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-76351654673480674082009-11-16T18:49:23.841-08:002009-11-16T18:49:23.841-08:00Congrats Ken.

You've given me an appreciation for my new home here in Socal. You've entertained me, made me laugh and sometimes even made me cry. Thanks for sharing a small part of yourself with all of us.
