   I agree with Beezy baby. A weblog that at its peak can only gather 300-400 readers deserves another award. Maybe one day this site willmake it to the big league

   How about an award for most loyal readers? You people protect this B-side character to the death no matter how bad his material is. Edhill is underrated imo.

   Help, I’ve been stuck in TVgasm Bizzarro land for weeks. Lots of arbitrary hate in the comments. Lots of missing recaps. I’ll do the vote, but you guys gotta do something for me. I hope by tomorrow everyone will have sufficiently gotten over their hangovers and can get back to work. Perhaps next “holiday season” you could plan another Food Network-a-thon. Or maybe you could, like the gofugyourself gals, say “We’re not putting up any new posts until January 3rd.” I still adore you despite this small criticism. And you certainly aren’t to blame for the odd direction many comments are going.
   To those who feel popularity equals quality: That would make McDonald’s the best restaurant. Bon appetit to you and Bill O’I'mawhorefortheman.

    Well I for one will do as they do in Chicago – vote early and vote often. TVGasm has gifted with me with so many laughs this year the least I can do is through some votes in return.

    Not sure why there’s so much hate but – it’s funny even the haters are here reading and posting – they just can’t stay away.

    I love TVGasm, but the Bloggies web site is way too much to deal with. Give me drop down menus and radio buttons so I can click thru it… that was a huge form and I don’t have time. Not TVGasm’s fault… just the Bloggies and a very poorly designed web site. Sorry guys.

    Wow… is it really cold in here or what?

    I just wanted to say that I did nominate TVgasm, although I have to agree with NonyMouse that the website is a bit complicated.
    However, I read TVgasm everyday and I feel that 5 minutes of my time is worth it for the amount of enjoyment, entertainment, and snark that this site provides. I only voted in the categories that TVgasm listed.
    It is ironic that the people complaining in here are probably some of the most recognized names on this site from their regular participation in the comments section. Obviously, you enjoy this site or you wouldn’t be on all the damn time.
    I think the guys at TVgasm deserved a break over the holidays. Who really had time to read full length posts over the last few weeks?

    If ya don’t like the Gasm, go somewhere’s else!
    As for me, EdHill, sg-dub, J-Unit, B-side and the crew all made stupid 2005 a little brighter.
    What did you want them to recap–their recaps? “Uh, I forgot a comma here, and no, I haven’t changed my position on Stephenie looking all Jerseyed out…” (Although I was hoping EdHill would comment on “fimsh” his novel…)
    If ya wanna hate, go somewhere’s else. *nyah*

    I was thinking of Project Runway. Much snarkability on that underwear episode. Yes, the hiatus was obvious. But we were treated to the odd year in review posts. I also wanted to say how much I enjoyed the Thanksgiving Food Network tribute. That’s a fun, easy thing to throw on the site too when you’re on a vacation. Please spare me the never ending venom I seem to generate. After this one I don’t give a fuck anymore. Thank Christ I’ve got a real life (so what if it’s based around Animal Crossing for Gamecube?). I would like to heart all over B-Side, Edhill, sg-dub, Fuzzbait, TinkerbellAP, TheSvan, Juddfan, Dana and any of the other nice or funny people. Unlike the very graceful Fuzzbait, I am wishing an extra 50 lbs. and root canal on everyone else.

    Edhill, how about “Hookers, Crystal Meth, and Stealing Heidi Klum away from Seal. A boy’s life” for a title. It’s kinda catchy. Oh wait, that’s your autobiography title. My blunder.

    Vote completed. Maybe if all these haters weren’t such miserable people they would have loved ones to spend the holidays with as well and they wouldn’t be waiting so anxiously for recaps of shows that weren’t even on to fill their sad, little lives.
    Sorry if that was harsh, but they messed with B-Side. I can’t stand idly by and watch that.

    I’m voting this site–it has brought me real joy all year past!

    As to your question, EdHill, my sweet and insightful husband always makes sure Santa brings me a little sumpin-sumpin for my classroom. You know, cool markers and highlighters, an electric pencil sharpener, a stapler of higher quality than my district can afford, etc. This year I’m teaching freshmen for the first time in my career, and they bring with them a certain *pungency*. It smells like “hot boy,” and that’s NOT a typo for “hott boy.” It’s a combo of hot iron radiator, sweat and crotch. Yum. So this year, Santa put one of those little “Wisp” air fresheners in my stocking–it’s puffing away even now, and my seniors noticed the difference right away! Hurrah for hubbies with brains and a sense of humor!

    So, what’d you get?

    I don’t know how many of you have a website, but the whole point is to update and make an entry when it is convenient for YOU. It’s shocking to me that people who enter TVgasm for free have the balls to make demands on the writers. Hello??? How many reality shows are on TV right now? And how many of them are in reruns right now? And so the fuck what if you don’t get your Gauntlet recaps immediately? I am sure that recapping a half hour show probably takes a good two hours to watch, rewind stuff, and recap, check spelling, etc… Write your own recaps and see how quick and easy it is. Please, for my sake and everyone elses, get your own fucking website, and get the hell out of here. (Sorry, about dropping the f-bomb, but this really infuriates me).
    I, for one, would like to thank all of the TVgasm writers for giving me hours of pleasure in 2005. You guys work your asses off to do this , and I appreciate it.

So maybe what you boys might want to consider doing is charging a monthly fee to belong to this website. Then we will see how many demanding assholes continue to show up.

    j/k. seriously though, it probably is some spammers from lame ass televisionwithoutpity aka the site that takes WEEKS to post a recap for an hour-long show that is nearly as long as the show itself. if i wanted to read a recap for 30 minutes, i’d WATCH THE ACTUAL SHOW.

    Ha-ha, Leah3t. RTV4M, I also like “TVGASM KICKS ROCKS”. It sounds pretty hard core. Is rocks another word for testes? Well it should be.

    Regarding the bizarre mood around here lately: At times I enjoy arguing and tearing into my fellow man, but I need to know what it’s all about. I need to have some passion for my subject. Lame schoolyard ranks, that don’t make sense, for no apparent reason, are as imbecilic as my run-on sentences.

    P.S. (Everybody LOVES a post script, don’t they?) I forgot to mention how much I have enjoyed hearing from katieshole (who doesn’t?), and holyterror. Among others. Sorry for the warm fuzzies, I’m good now.

Any money received was spent on the new one, who got an excersaucer and a tummy time tunnel. Christmas was soooo much fun shopping for her! Better than any present for me.

    Aww now RealityTV4Me and Lizardqueen – that’s what was missing this past few days. The site was overrun with strangers – I missed you guys. I mean you are real Gasmers – you applaud a good recap and aren’t too shy to critisize when the quality slips a little and you do it all with a real fondness for our recappers. Because late or on time, hilarious or just funnyish- we agree our writers are some of the funniest people we’ve met online or off.

    As for what I got for Christmas, just the perfect gifts for a tv-lover like me – Gilmore Girls seasons 3, 4 and 5, Amazing Race Season 1 (never saw that one), Veronica Mar Season 1 and Lost Season 1.

    I plan to watch those shows and then sneak back to see what you said in your recaps – the gift that keeps on giving.

    Thanks for the shoutout Lizardqueen. I have a new Typekey name now (I was Dana), but check out the cool pic in my profile. I’m looking forward to the new shows and new episodes of old shows starting up again.

    my Christmas gifts included lotions and toiletries from the Body Shop and Bath and Body Works ( I smell good enogh to EAT now), Panera gift cards, and a Steelers purse, and a Wine Chick t-shirt. I hope everyone at TVGasm (staff and cool posters) had a fun and relaxing holiday break.

    Hey Dana! So glad you could make it. I saw zoobabe and immediately thought Survivor Cindy and Dana. I wonder if we’ll get Juddfan back or if he’s prowling around under a new moniker. Very cute picture. Maybe that’s what I’ll do when I get my Project Runway dress. I’ll be too sexy for the gasm, too sexy for the gasm…
