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. But never Deb or Debbie or any other irritating variations thereof, unless you're angling for a free ride on the Size Nine Express (tm Sars). |
| 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, yoga, her Aeron chair, and sweet, sweet solitude. |
| Dislikes | Millions of things, but here�s a short list: incompetence, quasi-literacy, mistakes in print, bad architecture and design, the '80s, tobacco, winter, carnations, roses, fur, perfumed and scented things, canned pork and beans, allergies, the colour orange, noise, wimpy shoes, crowds, gold-coloured metals, people who don't signal, air travel, rodents/vermin, and misogyny. |
| Favourite Shows | Joan of Arcadia, 24, The Simpsons, Canadian House and Home, Designer Guys, Seasons 1-3 of Oz, A Makeover Story, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, All in the Family, Rhoda, The Dick van Dyke Show, Northern Exposure, Antiques Roadshow, and back-to-the-past reality shows, such as The 1900 House and Pioneer Quest. |
| Bio | Deborah recently moved from the Middle of Nowhere to the Outskirts of Somewhere with her husband, Professor Frink. She is a freelance writer and editor; her company is Words to that Effect. Deborah spends every "spare" minute working on her website, Chicklit, assisting her husband with his computer consulting business, or renovating/redecorating/maintaining her house. Overcommitted as she is, 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. Deborah 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, Joan of Arcadia |
Kim
| a.k.a. | Kim Reed |
| kim@televisionwithoutpity.com | |
| Likes | Pepsi One, redheads, cheesy teen movies, little kids with British accents, information architecture, feminism, the late much-lamented Might magazine, and kicking it old school |
| 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" |
| Favourite Shows | Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Felicity, The West Wing, Room by Room on HGTV, My So-Called Life, Homicide, Newsradio, and Northern Exposure |
| Bio | When she's not working on her website, Fresh Hell, Kim enjoys watching Total Request Live on MTV, plotting world domination one domain at a time, and playing "Name That TV Theme Song." It is her goal to someday record an answering machine message that will rival George Costanza's Greatest American Hero theme: "Believe it or not, George isn't at home.... " |

| Dislikes | Jerks who think they're cute, golf on television, eggs with onions in them, greasy lipstick, the dentist, the Metrodome, when her TiVo randomly records episodes of Essence of Emeril, most actresses with three names, her feet, Ann Coulter, orange cheese, the last four minutes and forty-five seconds of every five-minute Saturday Night Live sketch, people who mock the Midwest, and self-important ensemble dramas |
| Favourite Shows | The Amazing Race, Law & Order, World's Wildest Police Videos, Sports Night, Friends, old episodes of Moonlighting |
| Bio | Miss Alli hangs out in Minnesota, where she is an attorney. No, really. She has a little card and everything. She can usually be found watching DVD audio commentaries, defending reality television, reading about ways to make her apartment look bigger, and having long, meandering arguments with the people she really likes. Whenever she can think of anything to say, she airs her id at Frolic and Detour. |

| Bio | Wendola lives in Chicago and edits really short books for a living. Her writing has appeared in BUST magazine, Australian Style (no, she doesn't really know how that happened, either), and a few little journals nobody's ever heard of. She has a website called Pound and wonders if it makes her look fat or something. |
