TwoP

Alright fellow bloggers, so it turns out there is this cool internet resource online (who woulda guessed right) called televisionwithoutpity, or as I like to say twop (said as an actual word not an acronym). TwoP has a lot of really valuable and fun features for anyone who watches television...and also has a computer and goes online to the TwoP website. The site has up to date info, clips, review etc. from the daily sitcoms that we love.
Some great features of the website (ones that I use anyways) :
  • Video Section - alright this one is the coolest feature in my opinion. Since it is a website devoted entirely to television shows, why not show all the latest episodes on the website? Oh, yes, they do. This allows the user to watch full or condensed episodes and clips while also reading TwoP reviews right on the TwoP website. The site gets its video hosting via hulu which is partly owned by NBC.
  • Various Blogs - some of the blogs that can be found on the website are really funny. My favorite that I have found is the TwoP 10 lists. These are kind of like a top 10 list only with a twist. "TwoP 10 : Best Stars Of The Fall, TwoP 10 : Shows that Oprah Should Join, TwoP 10: Tv Sex Changes We Would Like to See." A lot of these are really funny and creative, and I like reading through the lists and seeing what I agree/disagree with.
  • Forum Section - this is by far the most informative section on the website. The forum section features forum discussions about almost every show currently on television. If your watching it, its probably got a forum on TwoP. Even though this is fan based, the majority of the information is accurate and relevant...after all people with a passion do lots of research. Some of the fans are probably a little too crazy about their shows, but I find that the info in the forums is both entertaining and enlightening.
Alright these are the features that I find most valuable, and use with the most frequency...but as you all know because you also use the website this is only a very small fraction of what is contained within TwoP.com

  2. Yea the video section is legit. Never really delved into the forum section too deep but it definitely seems like a good feature. Also I have started to become a big fan of the top ten lists.

  4. I didn't know Hulu was partially owned by NBC; great writing! I'll have to check out some of the stuff that you've mentioned that I've missed!

  5. I had no clue Hulu was partially owned by NBC either, you learn something everyday. I also like the forums even though I didn't sign up for them. The discussions are sometimes boring but other times hilarious. You seem to really like TWoP, did you know about it before this class?

  6. I found myself wanting to post on so many forums. That is also a cool part of the site. I always love reading what die hard fans or people who love adding their 2 cents in have to say.
