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.
Deborah
| a.k.a. | Deborah |
| deborah@televisionwithoutpity.com | |
| Likes | words, books, language, reading, writing...um, wait! Other stuff too: the '70s, meat, shopping for antiques, Sylvia Plath, boating, water, music (especially funk), obscure films, the colours purple and black, silver-coloured metals, Cary Grant, Keanu Reeves, confessional comics, lilies, orchids, cats, and solitude |
| Dislikes | millions of things, but here's a short list: incompetence, quasi-literacy, mistakes in print, the '80s, tobacco, winter, carnations, roses, fur, canned pork and beans, allergies, the colour orange, wimpy shoes, crowds, noise, gold-coloured metals, people who don't signal, air travel, rodents/vermin, and misogyny |
| Favourite Shows | 24, Canadian House and Home, Trading Spaces, Designer Guys, A Makeover Story, Seasons 1-3 of Oz, The Simpsons, Northern Exposure, All in the Family, The Dick van Dyke Show, Rhoda, Antiques Roadshow, and any back-to-the-past reality shows, such as The 1900 House, and Pioneer Quest |
| Bio | Deborah and her husband fled the crowds, pollution, noise, and expense of Toronto for the solitude, fresh air, peace, and expense of their first house, a huge Victorian home in a very small lakefront town. She is a freelance writer and editor, and her company is called Words to that Effect. She spends as much time as possible on her website, Chicklit. She spends every "spare" minute helping to manage her husband's consulting business, and renovating/ redecorating/ maintaining her house. She can always find time to complain about the climate. She harbours a deep and abiding distrust of anyone who does not like funk music. She vaguely remembers what it was like to have a life, and she'll thank you not to remind her. |
| Recaps | The West Wing, The Practice, Trading Spaces |
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, Push Nevada, The Bachelor(ette) |
Glark
| a.k.a. | David T. Cole |
| glark@televisionwithoutpity.com | |
| Likes | Playing Counter-Strike until 4am |
| Dislikes | Things involving tools and nails |
| Favourite Shows | The Simpsons, Futurama, The Prisoner, Amazing Race, Conan, Screen Savers and the Dr. Gene Scott show which is really fucked up |
| Bio | Glark runs �ber Interactive, an interactive agency specializing in web solutions for entertainment and community-minded properties as well as producing TWoP, Hissyfit and Fametracker. Glark waits for the day he'll have enough time to take a serious vegetarian cooking course. |
| Recaps | Recaps your ass if you don't watch it bub. |
Miss Alli
| a.k.a. | Linda |
| missalli@televisionwithoutpity.com | |
| Likes | Baseball, John Cusack, E.J. Dionne, Janet Evanovich, Gene Kelly, Mike Krzyzewski, her bright pink shoes, making smug people angry, the Tamron 70-300, TiVo, Bejeweled, air conditioning, the Minnesota Zoo, blueberry muffins, chick movies, Die Hard, Louis Prima, Jon Stewart, Sephora, the Phillies, the Twins, the Blue Devils, and DVD audio commentaries |
| Dislikes | Idiots, bands with misspelled names, any radio show with wacky sound effects, grassroots organizations that sound suspiciously unobjectionable, famous people who complain about being famous, overcooked vegetables, the Tar Heels, CD packaging, most of her furniture, badly-marked highway systems, fat-free cheese, Angelina Jolie, and That Guy |
| Favourite Shows | The Amazing Race, Law & Order, Trading Spaces, World's Wildest Police Videos, Sports Night, Friends, old episodes of Moonlighting |
| Bio | Miss Alli writes things and takes pictures of things and analyzes things in agonizing detail. Believe it or not, she is an attorney. She works in a job where she has an office with a window, but the window is only about ten inches tall, and it leads into a library. She has a new vacuum cleaner, a car with a slightly dented fender, and the cutest nephews ever. All things considered, life is good. Whenever she can think of anything to say, she airs her id at Frolic and Detour. |
| Recaps | The Amazing Race |

Strega

| 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 |
