A blog about television by TIME’s TV critic James Poniewozik.

You There! Identify Yourself!

A brief technical note: Tuned In has been upgraded to a new version of its publishing platform--which apparently has a much stronger breed of hamster turning the little wheel that powers it--and as part of the change, we're now requiring that you register before commenting. I know this is a pain in the ass--it was when I had to register to comment myself a few hours ago. But I did it, it took mere seconds, and so far no one has stolen my identity or charged anything on my credit cards.

In exchange for this minor inconvenience, the new software promises much more robust protection from the massive spam attacks of late. My apologies, therefore, to those of you who read Tuned In mainly for the penis-enlargement offers.

    Now if only we could get some sort of tag system, or an easier way to search through the archives. Which begs the question, is there already an easier way to search for older posts?

    @Oscar: There is apparently a tag system, which I have been asking for forever, in the new upgrade, or there will be once I learn how to use it. That doesn't help you with older posts, or at least it won't until I procure an intern/slave/hyperintelligent tamarin to go back and tag all the archive posts for me, though.

    Hi James, long-time listener, first-time caller. I have never had any desire to post a comment, but somehow the requirement to register SHOULD I ever decide I want to, mixed with lingering feelings of guilt spurred on by a Virginia Heffernan column in the NYT magazine some weeks back about lurking in message boards, I decided to come out of the woodwork for one day only to tell you I love your column, your blog, and your regular commentators' postings. Gives me something to break the monotony of working an 8-hour day. Keep up the good work guys!

    Actually, I was hoping for some penis reduction offers, because my back is killing me with all this weight.
