DeAnn Welker is a TV-obsessed journalist living in Portland, Oregon, with her boyfriend of many years and their two adorable dogs (her beagle even covets her TiVo remote).

Her love affair with television dates back to childhood, when she and her sister would regularly watch everything from Days of Our Lives to Growing Pains to early MTV (their mother would record the countdowns if they were on during the schoolday).

She likes to think her tastes have refined somewhat over the years, although she still has the occasional love for a trashy show (see: Big Brother).

She decided that she knows too much about TV not to share it with the rest of you, and that is why you get this site, her shared TV blog at work, and her former column in the Anchorage Daily News. You can view her past columns here or here.

Her favorite current shows include: 30 Rock, The Amazing Race, Friday Night Lights, Gilmore Girls, Heroes, How I Met Your Mother, October Road, Planet Earth, This American Life, and Veronica Mars.

She hopes you like her TV ramblings. Go ahead and tell her what you think. Or feel free to ask her any questions you have about the site or about TV (although she doesn't promise she'll have the answers).

By the way, this site looks prettiest when viewed with Firefox (and it's a better browser than IE anyway, so why not get it now?). This pretty site was designed by Anna Beth, who is both brilliant and beautiful (don't hate her; she was born that way). And it's DeAnn's. So, hands off!

If you're not here to read about DeAnn, but about those other two fools who post here sometimes, you're in luck:

Jay Wang is an editor based in Washington, D.C. He has appeared on the TV news twice, once as part of a middle school trivia team and once as a member of a throng of excited college students celebrating a playoff hockey win. He can also be seen in a 1980s-vintage National Geographic Society educational video. When he's not watching TV or posting here, you can read his musings at his own blog, Off the Curve.

Tulsa, Oklahoma native Earnest Pettie is a graduate of the University of Oklahoma's Film and Video Studies program. A comedy writer, Earnest has written several short films, published a collection of short stories, and somewhat maintained a personal blog, Midseason Replacement. Television is his passion, and someday he hopes to have his own sitcoms on the air. In the meantime, he is content to cheer and jeer the work of others from the sidelines. It should also be noted that Earnest Pettie single-handedly brought about the end of Communism through a fortuitous card game in Poland -- though he still wonders how the world might be different today had he not yelled "Uno!" when he did. You can read Earnest's entire TV Goddess history here.
