My earliest memories are of sitting on my bedroom floor with a box of Mr. Salty pretzels and watching the cartoons of The Disney Afternoon. Despite a loving, nurturing family I was also partially raised by Growing Pains' Jason and Maggie Seaver. My entire perception of high school was shaped by repeated after-school and Saturday morning viewings of Saved by The Bell. After graduating from my own much less exciting high school I moved onto Tufts University where I was able to capitalize on my passion and affection for television by joining the staff of the Tufts Daily, where I became a Senior Staff Writer and Arts section editor, managing the television beat. After Tufts I spent three years as a corporate video producer, but spent my evenings voraciously consuming TV programs during what may be looked back on as a golden age of television, from Arrested Development to The Office to Lost. Yearning to return to journalism and television criticism/commentary, I've recently refocused my efforts onto my pop culture blog Jumped The Snark, and I’m once again finding an outlet for my television addiction.
For my first review, I'm unclear if you need another sample or actually a new review for a show that I will write about on a consistent basis. I've attached here a review I wrote of last night's The Office, but I can certainly supply a review of another show, new or classic, if necessary.
