Oh, Television Without Pity how I loved thee. And then, one day, Bravo TV which is owned by NBC which is owned by General Electrics decided it a wise move to smother a witty and ironic place with a buckload of money. And the founders, probably amazed just how big their little recap-site has gotten, decided to accept said money (as I would have probably done) and buy themselves airy lofts and health insurance. Not a particularly staggering narrative. But I got attached and my heart got broken a tinsy little bit.

As I said in my indignant 50-year-old-Burgtheater-suscription-
holder-appalled-by-those-filthy-“new“-ways-of-directing forum post: The site's strenght was written content. I'm not sure if this is a fact that needs to be camouflaged that heavily.
