We here at Blogcritics Magazine have joined up with Blogtalk Radio to help expand our horizons. To that end, yours truly along with Erin Medley host Screen Time, Tuesday nights at 9:30 ET.

I cannot express to you the utter joy and sense of well-being that we feel here in the television section now that the new season is underway. It is a time of contentment and happiness. A time of wonder and amazement. Plus, 24 and Scrubs will be back in a few months.
Even better than that, we run tons of contests in the BC TV section, and we run them year-round. I know that they can be hard to keep track of, so we've created a little page where you can see what we currently are running and have run in the past (as of July 2008, anyway). Click here and see what you could be lucky enough to win.
We cover it all here at BC TV, so read on Macduff and damn'd be he that first cries, "Hold, enough!"
