From Heather Havrilesky over at Salon.com. A beautiful, well crafted writer, but I question her taste in television. I mean, why does she even bother with crap like reality television shows, while never once mentioning anything from the BBC or the CBC? She is, however, well versed in television history, and very fond of making obscure references like the "Narm! Narm!" line from Six Feet Under.
