I love TWOP! IT's almost more of an incentive to watch a certain show, just so you can read the TWOP recap after! (I stopped watching CSI when TWOP stopped covering it. )

My TWOP list is: "America's Next Top Model", "The Amazing Race", "The Bachelor" (when they had them), "Grey's Anatomy", "Veronica Mars" and "The Apprentice" (when it's on).

I can't believe the boards were down today! I actually had to do some homework!

Couch Baron, who recaps Veronica Mars, is easily the best recapper of my limited experience. But SaraM's House recap this week sure was cranky. I loved it.

And I love the TWoP boards, too. The order! The readability! Sure, I sometimes think the discussions get way off-base and read too much into small gestures, but at least there's no bouncing smilies. *shudder*

Oh, Plum, you know you love those smileys

Oh, I'm okay with ones that don't move. But all those elaborate .gif ones that explode or stick their tongues out or generally move in a continuous loop just make me want to go at my eyeballs with a melon baller.

Couch Baron's Veronica Mars recaps are hilarious, but I think the funniest recap for that show has to be Jacob's for "Plan B." I laughed to tears multiple times while reading it. To be fair, it was an absolutely brilliant episode.

I know, I was going nuts today when the site was down. What if I couldn't read the ANTM recap before the show tomorrow?!

I read ANTM, Project Runway, Heroes, Ugly Betty...and became a Fanatic because of TV Potluck (if you ever need a laugh, drop in on TV Lessons I've Learned). I also drop in on various non-recapped threads when I've seen something I want to comment on.

Plum, I know what you mean. I followed a link to Fans of Reality TV once and it made my eyes bleed. The animated smileys, the animated avatars, the giant pictures in the signitures...oy. I love the way TWoP's forums are run. And they're so efficient with trolls and other obnoxious posters.

The TWoP boards have been down all day today and are still down- anyone else on here going through withdrawl not being able to post about important stuff like Ugly Betty's GG wins, last night's Desperate Housewives, etc. on there? Maybe just me. :)

I know I never post here but it looks like site crashed. The message is now saying that some Dec/January info might even be lost.

And I know what you mean about not being able to post. Seems like some sites go down at the worst time possible! I hope it comesback soon.

I haven't really loved the site since the Mighty Big TV days, but I still visit occasionally. I don't read anything consistently, mostly America's Next Top Model and an occasional American Idol these days.

It's strange. A lot of the recappers I loved on one show I despised on another. As for the forums? For some reason I was never able to successfully register, so I wrote it off. I do like to peruse the pixel challenges, though.

The boards are still down. Crap. I was kind of hoping to see some Golden Globes reactions. Oh, well. Sometimes sites get attacked by packs of rabid emus. Nothing we can do.

Since I mainly only am into Reality Shows these days, I detest the board. Or more importantly detest Miz Alki.

Other then this board I live completely at 'Survivor Sucks' these days. Once you get over the heat, it is a brilliant board (even if it is stuck on ezboard).

Anyhooo

Saying that I loved everything Jessica and Heathen have ever written and follow they fashion-disaster blog religiously.

The Jessica Mundo Extra recap for the "Melrose Place" episode "The Bitch is Back" (you know... Kimberly/wig/scar)... Best. Recap. Ever.

I used to love the TWOP recaps of The O.C. So hilarious. I haven't been watching the show this season though so I haven't read any of them. I never got that into the messageboards there because, as someone said, if you can't post about an episode right after it airs it becomes almost impossible to catch up with the thread.

The boards are back, yay! Although everything from Dec 13th through yesterday/today has been lost.
