Top 20 TV shows of 2012
TV Feature | Ed Williamson, Matt Looker, Luke Whiston, Rob Young | 2nd January 2013
We spent 2012 doing what we do best: watching TV and putting off writing about it. And my stars, the things we've seen. If only there were some way to convey our preferences of one thing over another through hierarchical structuring. Wait a minute ...

TV Video | Ed Williamson | 13th August 2012

Before Christmas I went to an event to promote the Boardwalk Empire season one DVD and Blu-ray release, where I was given some free food and drink. Then I chose Boardwalk Empire as number one in our Top 20 shows of 2011. Wait, this looks bad, doesn't it?
