Aaron
| a.k.a. | Aaron |
| aaron@televisionwithoutpity.com | |
| Likes | Film, Pop-Tarts, films about Pop-Tarts, and girls who are mean to him. Really. |
| Dislikes | Non-smoking sections, his job, and temperatures over 65 degrees Fahrenheit. |
| Favourite Shows | The West Wing, The Sopranos, and all things hockey-related |
| Bio | Aaron has chosen to buck TWoP tradition and become a struggling writer/director from Pittsburgh instead of an struggling actor from Austin. If you scour iFilm long enough, you might actually see one of his movies. When he's not envying the talents and glamorous Hollywood lifestyle of Aaron Sorkin and Darren Aronofsky, he works as an analyst at one of the largest banks in the U.S. He's probably embezzling money from your account right now. |
| Recaps | Six Feet Under, The Sopranos, Mind of the Married Man |
Alex Richmond
| a.k.a. | That's her real name, nitwits |
| alexrichmond@televisionwithoutpity.com | |
| Likes | Nice dogs, funny jokes, thrift shopping, rock, modesty, dark chocolate, cashmere sweaters (thrifted ones count double), sushi, Jack Daniels, and sweet, sweet lovin' |
| Dislikes | Rules, having to get up and be anywhere before 1 PM, vain braggarts, bossy bessies, excessive cigarette smoke, disrespect, people that chew open-mouthed |
| Favourite Shows | Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the original Star Trek, The Simpsons, The A-Team, Fashion File, The Today Show |
| Bio | Alex Richmond became a woman only after successfully completing many years as a girl. Besides writing book reviews for the Philadelphia City Paper and covering nightlife for the Philadelphia Inquirer, Alex Richmond is a full time copywriter at a -- shudder -- advertising agency. She swears to god she'll never write a screenplay about how working for the man sucks her soul into the void, though. That's been done to death. |

Djb
| a.k.a. | Daniel J. Blau |
| djb@televisionwithoutpity.com | |
| Likes | Hot chicks, fast cars, the continuing cultural relevance of professional a cappella music and its rabid and vocal fan base, and the year that I was old enough to really remember and greatly enjoy the Mets winning the World Series. Oh, wait. |
| Dislikes | The public perception perpetrated by people who didn't grow up on Long Island that Billy Joel is, in fact, a big ol' cheeseball. And ugly chicks. |
| Favourite Shows | Whatever. I'm not a WB whore. Stop looking at me like that. |
| Bio | Djb is super-keen on forgotten bands from the eighties and movies based on popular children's board games. He secretly wants to find fame and fortune by writing a full-scale musical extravaganza about the Clinton scandal and calling it Monica! As you can see, he has already procured the website in reckless pursuit of this goal. He is sad Jerome Robbins will not be available to choreograph. If Sars or Wing has anything to do with it, Djb has probably begged to write for it. |
| Recaps | Roswell, Twin Peaks, Making the Band, The Real World: Boston, Oz |

| Bio | Heathen gave up a stable tech-reporting job in Austin, Texas, for the less noble and more unstable entertainment industry. She lives in Los Angeles now, embroiled in the daily struggle against going broke. Her old employers are laughing. Her hobbies include swearing, and swearing loudly. One day, she hopes to stop shouting at the television; failing that, she'd settle for a Diet Coke and some cheesecake. |

Kim
| a.k.a. | Kim Reed |

| Dislikes | People who think they are superior because they don't watch television, people who think they are superior because they've never "surfed the web," the phrase "surfing the web," Craig Kilborn, most of what Jakob Nielsen has to say, and the U.S. healthcare "system" |

When Pamie isn't getting stuck recapping some of the worst shows on television (Gilmore Girls and The Sopranos excepted), she used to update her site Squishy at pamie.com, where she dished out the gossip of her daily life. But that's gone now, so she would have been working on her weekly article for The Austin American-Statesman when most of her other freelance work was cancelled with this whole dot-com bust thing you hear about so much these days, but then they went ahead and laid her off at the Statesman, too. Please send Pamie cash. She's got two cats to raise, you know. Pamie has written and performed One Woman Shows (Austin, TX misses her so) and is a graduate of The Second City. That's right: she's officially funny. You can find her and her cats arguing over the TiVo just about any day of the week. She lives and works in Los Angeles, where she sometimes wears pigtails. |

| Favourite Shows | Degrassi High, Double Trouble, Behind The Music, Unsolved Mysteries, and Law & Order: The Noth Years |
| Bio | Big ol' sunglasses allow Sars to move around New York City unmolested by her many Tomato Nation fans. In her spare time, she enjoys growling at slow-moving tourists, shopping for shoes, and sporadically answering the Not! Line. (And actually, it rhymes with "scares.") She has not cleaned her bathroom since W. took office. |
