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@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. |

Alex Richmond
| a.k.a. | That's her real name, nitwits |
| alexrichmond@televisionwithoutpity.com | |

| 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. |

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. |

| 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. |
