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 |
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.... " |
| Recaps | Party of Five, The Real World, Felicity, Dark Angel, Gideon's Crossing, WWF Smackdown, Oz, Boot Camp, Love Cruise, Freakylinks, The Mole, RW/RR Challenge, Tough Enough, Trading Spaces, John Doe |

| 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. |
