Back in January of '06, after an initial period of anger and frustration, I went to work, as an active member of TV.com. After the first year, my enthusiasm had grown, exponentially, and I was up to level 15, and had attained Editorship of 5 shows. After another year, I was up to Level 20, and had become Editor of 10 shows, and, in this past year, I added another 4 shows to my list, and advanced to Level 29. I'm not climbing in levels nearly as fast as most others, as I try to concentrate mostly my own guides, and I pretty much stay out of the forums, unless I have a question about something, or need help with a particular problem. But I do, however, try to write an occasional review, here and there, for my favorite episodes of my favorite shows - 'Sanford And Son' in particular. TV.com is still quite an enjoyable pastime for me, and I intend to keep working at my guides, making them better, and keeping them accurate, and presentable to the public.

It was two years ago, today, that I decided to become an active member of TV.com. During the TV Tome days, I was Editor of 3 shows, all of which, I lost, during the transition to TV.com. There is a very strong possibility that that was due to a system glitch (TV.com have a system glitch?! Imagine that!), but, to give them the benefit of a doubt, it could very possibly have been that I submitted my transition request a little late - It's just been too long ago to remember, for an old guy like me. Whatever the case, I was angry, frustrated, and bitter about that for about 6 months or so. But I decided, 2 years ago, today, to get re-involved, and made up my mind to earn back the shows I'd lost. I was successful with only one of them, but I have - In the above-mentioned two years - Become the Editor of 8 other shows, and gone from Level 1, to Level 20, which was more than enough to make up for the loss of the other two shows. I've turned TV.com into a kind of hobby, and, despite it's being quite frustrating, and even stressful, at times, it's a lot of fun. It's also very gratifying to know that my work has been published, and is seen by thousands of people, every day. I intend to keep on keeping on, with my guides, working to make them all better, though, with my time divided, now, with so many to look after, I'm working somewhat slower than I was, 2 years ago. But I hope that all who see them, approve.

Well, even though I’ve never really been away… I’m back. I was pretty sad for 3 months or so, but I feel much better now. When I logged on, on January 3, I was up to 13% (How I got that, I don’t know), and, after doing a little research, and studying the rules and regs, I added a couple of shows to ‘My Shows’, and… Whaddaya know?!! The next day, I was up to 16%!! A few more additions to ‘My Shows’, and some ratings, and the next day, I was up to 30%!! By now, I’m saying to myself: ‘Man! This is fun!!’. Today, I was up to 38%, and I posted my ‘About Me’ article. Can’t wait to see what I’m up to, tomorrow!
