Q: What is your name?
A: Ryan Rutledge. I also use the pseudonym of Adam Chesterfield when filling out Greenpeace petitions and other worthless piece of crap requests for my name. With a name like Adam Chesterfield, I feel like I would be a great addition to the Gossip Girl cast, don’t you agree?

Q: Who are you?
A: Quite possibly the most important person you have ever known but not likely.

Q: No really, who are you?
A: I’m just a simple guy whose addiction to television is a bit embarrassing at times, and by at times, I mean all the time. I work at an advertising agency as a media planner, so I suppose my high levels of media consumption come in quite handy although it’s usually just useless knowledge.

Q: Why do you have this site?
A: Just an amusing way to justify my addiction to television. As the 2009-2010 television season was about to commence, I began to realize that I spend way too much time in front of the television each week. Rather than give up television, I wanted a way to put it to some sort of productive use. My solution? Write a blog about [almost] everything I watch.

Q: What are your plans for the site?
A: It all depends on how successful I deem this experiment vs. how time consuming I find this to be. The main focus at start up is nailing site design & writing style/technique. Once that is in a good place I’ll venture out and build out a presence on Twitter and perhaps even Facebook eventually. It’s all a work in progress and what you see today, might be very different tomorrow. As I feel comfortable enough with the state of the site and the content, I will slowly venture out and actively seek an audience.

Q: What shows do you choose to write about?
A: A pretty wide variety. Everything from reality trash to reality sophistication and tons of scripted programming. I obviously won’t write about any of the nerd shows that I watch [The Universe, Life After People, Naked Science, etc.] as that would just be a snoozefest. I will, however, focus on the popular shows. There are a few big shows that I’m not a fan of [Dancing With The Stars, American Idol, Survivor, among them] and for those they will either get no coverage or I will be brave and try to venture out and watch new shows (or I’ll start outsourcing the labor at some point).

Q: What makes this site so special?
A: Nothing. I’m not going to sugarcoat it and act like I’m awesome, because I’m not [but I really am]. This site is more for me than anything. A justification to a television addiction. If I amuse the ones of people that will undoubtedly come flocking to this site, all the better. Don’t worry, I’m not pretending this is going to be some sort of smash-hit blog and that before you know it they’ll be making a movie for me called Ryan and TiVo [ala Julie & Julia].

Q: What is up with the weird handwritten notes/sketches?
A: In a perfect world I’d like to use press images from the individual shows but it’s highly unlikely I’ll gain access to reproduce those here. Stay tuned as I work on getting those rights though!

Q: How can I reach you?
A: All complains/comments/inquiries/questions/etc. regarding the site can be directed to: ryan [at] ryanlovestv [dot] com

Q: Any other way to reach you?
A: If you really want, yes, I can personally be found elsewhere on the internet on Twitter or Facebook. I also have a personal blog, but you’ll probably fall asleep before you get through the first sentence of any entry on there. You can also find me a bunch of other places on the Internet as well. I typically use the online handle of uselesslyclever for my online identity. Hmmm … starting to wonder if I even have an offline identity anymore.
