Hi Jaime,

At least initially, My Network TV probably won't be something we will be covering very much. They weren't listed in our fall schedule simply because they aren't exactly a regular network in the traditional sense, since they are only programming two series, which play throughout the week like a daily soap. If nothing else, listing them each night on the schedule would be a bit redundant, since it would simply be the same two shows each time.

Hey Mike,

Obviously, back when the miniseries of Battlestar Galactica aired, along with the first season of the show, our TV section didn't yet exist. In fact, I've never met Glen Oliver, who did the miniseries review for IGN you're referencing, or KJB, who did the season 1 reviews, and wouldn't presume to speak for them, and respect their opinions. However, suffice to say, both myself and the rest of us at IGN TV have very different viewpoints on the series; personally, I think it's the best show on the air these days, and a truly wonderful example of how good TV can be. I can't wait for season 3.

Harold,

We got several emails noting our mistake regarding Kandice and Dustin actually being Miss America contestants, and not Miss USA contestants, though yours was the most… passionate.

The thing was, we weren't the source of the mistake. The press release for the contestants had inadvertently listed the girls as being from Miss USA, and not being aware of the error, we used the information we were given. However, I do apologize for the mistake, and it's since been corrected in our piece.

Joel,

Thanks very much for the kind words on my South Park reviews. Glad you enjoyed reading them, and while it's fun to have a healthy debate about a TV series (or an individual episode), it's also nice to hear from someone likeminded about a show! As you saw, I thought it was a very strong run of episodes this spring, with a couple of exceptions. I know some people were much bigger fans of the Oprah episode than I was, but I was amused to see Matt and Trey mention that episode in a jokingly dismissive way at the recent Q&A; they did. Either way, it's hard to beat the brilliance of "The Return of Chef" or "Cartoon Wars," both of which were wonderful examples of how great the show can be.

This fall, I'm afraid I won't be doing weekly reviews of South Park anymore, but I'll be passing the torch to the very capable hands of our own Dan Iverson.

Hi Andy,

Thanks for your comments. I certainly wasn't trying to insinuate that there is anything wrong with dramatic elements in a comedy show. I just felt that some of the elements that make Entourage so great were missing on the flip side. I like the realistic take of the show and love the fact that it's not only about the "peachy" side of living "the life." I've just felt that the show has sometimes had trouble balancing of late. Last season's Mandy Moore plotline, for example, was balanced perfectly.

On the whole, I can't say that my feeling for the season won't change when viewed in its entirety. Reviewing a show episode by episode can be tricky when you consider that one episode may simply be a set up for a better explanation later on. I've often found my opinion on previous episode reviews changes later on after seeing subsequent episodes that may bring an earlier scene or scenario to light more fully.

Again, thanks for your comments and I hope you continue to enjoy the season.

Best,
