These are the people who make TWoP possible!
There are two types of Staff pages. The Show Staff pages list the recappers for an individual show. The Show Staff page for any particular show can be accessed from that show's section. A complete list of all shows, past and present can be found on the Shows page.
The other type of staff page is the Master Staff page which lists every staff member who's worked for TWoP since the gold rush days.
Ace
| a.k.a. | Miss Hansen, if you're nasty |
| ace@televisionwithoutpity.com | |
| Likes | Stuff. |
| Dislikes | Other stuff. And people. Most people, in fact. |
| Favourite Shows | Buffy, Designing for the Sexes, Grosse Pointe, NYPD Blue |
| Bio | Ace is an employee of a large university and thus considers herself particularly well-suited to recap Buffy's college adventures. She is currently obsessed with completing a large collection of tacky tiki shaped mugs. Anyone wishing to buy Ace's affections should start by sending her a portable Panasonic DVD player. |

| Favourite Shows | Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Six Feet Under, Smallville, The Simpsons, various Star Trek series, Twin Peaks, Monty Python's Flying Circus, Absolutely Fabulous |
| Bio | John works in the financial markets, but no one understands what he does, and he's sick of explaining it. In what seems like a past life, he was actually a journalist. After living the first 32 years of his life comfortably in New York City, he recently moved to London, where he is currently experiencing the horror of having his favorite shows delayed by several months. |
| Recaps | Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Classic) |

| Bio | When she�s not sequestered in the lab working on a synthetic version of human skin that can be used by spies to impersonate other people but which is also very easy to rip off dramatically, Jessica teaches CPR to blind children. In 1997, she won the Academy Award for best editing in a short subject for her film, "Tastes Like Burning." In 1995, she earned a dual Ph.D. in Renaissance Literature and Astrophysics from UCLA. She makes her home in Los Angeles, California, where she is surrounded by thousands of other big fat liars. |

| Dislikes | Not making any money, psoriasis |
| Favourite Shows | The Simpsons, Buffy The Vampire Slayer |
| Bio | Key Grip lives in Manhattan, where he writes plays, screenplays, sketch comedy, TV spec scripts, fiction, and recaps for TWoP. Guess which of these pays the best thus far? You can also catch him performing around the city with his comedy troupe, Key Grip and the Best Boys. |

| Bio | Prior to helping found Television Without Pity, Sars worked as a church secretary, a file clerk, a pool tester, a CD-ROM producer, an antiquarian book dealer, and a Penthouse proofreader. Read more about the resulting ulcer at Tomato Nation. Oh, and it rhymes with "scares," but she'll answer either way. |

Sep
| a.k.a. | The Impudent Guttersnipe |

| Likes | Sandwiches, ancient Chinese piercing weapons, long walks on the beach |
| Dislikes | Rudeness, salad-in-a-bag, buffalo-head nickels. |
| Favourite Shows | Chico and the Man, Q-Bert |
| Bio | Sep was born in a bustling bazaar just west of East Bangladesh, which I guess puts it somewhere in Central Bangladesh, on 131st Street and Main. Left to fend for herself, she got by on her wits, selling naughty hood ornaments whittled from old fence posts and stealing the odd plantain for breakfast. Enticed by the steel-blue eyes of a passing carnival barker, Sep hit the road, getting by on her wits and selling naughty hood ornaments whittled from petrified elephant dung and stealing the odd honeydew for lunch. Eventually her travels brought her to Austria, where in an effort to get the carnival top billing in the annual Strudel Parade she turned the Von Trapp children over to local authorities. Impressed, the German Intelligence Agency enlisted Sep's help in international espionage operations, until finally, on assignment in sunny California, where she was secretly getting by on her wits and selling naughty hood ornaments whittled from endangered redwoods and stealing the odd sushi roll for dinner, she decided to hang up her cloak and spork and live the recapper's life. |
| Recaps | Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Real World: San Francisco |
Strega
| a.k.a. | Just don't call me Sue |
| strega@televisionwithoutpity.com | |
| Likes | Petty grudges, good books, bad television, her chinchilla, playing devil's advocate, complaining about her many dislikes |
| Dislikes | Centipedes, laugh tracks, 95% of fandom, peanuts, Oliver Stone, and too many other things to name |
| Favourite Shows | Farscape, Babylon 5, The Singing Detective, Fawlty Towers, The Prisoner, Aeon Flux� whoa, I'm such a geek. Yikes. |
| Bio | Strega grew up watching Star Trek, Monty Python, and David Letterman, which probably explains a great deal. She was born in California, went to college in Illinois, and now lives in suburban Maryland, where she works in a gray, suburban office building. Strega spends far too much time thinking about cookies. Every so often, she remembers to update her website. |
| Recaps | Angel, The West Wing |
