tcaWhile we're not at the twice-a-year Television Critics Association (TCA) gathering this week, we wanted to do our part and cover the event from afar.

So we've created a handy blog to follow all the ups and downs of being a television critic. We'll be highlighting the best and worst stories that come out of the TCA. Yes, we understand the irony of the idea. But that's what makes it so much fun.

Click www.allyourtv.com/fiskingthetca to visit the blog. We'll be updating it on a regular basis throughout the run of the TCA winter gathering. Add a comment
