[Editor’s Note]: Since David Bianculli launched TV Worth Watching in 2007, there's been a loyal group of readers coming every day -- and a steady crowd that's been growing with us ever since.

The only thing better than finding great television is reading about others connecting with the same material. 
 Below are some like-minded comments over the years from readers and industry observers that all essentially talk about the same need — a trusted source for quality TV in the ever-expanding television universe… and one that finds shows getting crowded out of the cultural radar.

 

"There used to be a check and balance with fewer networks and a TV critic in every city’s newspaper… While networks and streaming services spend millions on marketing, is there any place to get a nuanced view of suitable programs that I will like? The New York Times tries to take the stress out of the selection process. Several websites are competing for similar roles, like David Bianculli’s TV Worth Watching …” —Michael Casio, Realscreen.com 
 
There is so much in the mess of all these TV channels that I would so easily overlook if it weren't for this site.” —Mara, TVWW Reader
 
Not only does our local paper not have a TV critic, it doesn't even publish listings for most cable channels. Like James, I read your site daily; it is the only way I can learn about TV not on the major networks or PBS. Thank you for creating a TV guide for people who aren't ashamed to like television.Sharon GS, TVWW Reader
 

I've said it before, and I'll say it again -- this is the most intelligent blog on the internet. Best contributors and commenters hands down.…” —Eileen, TVWW Reader
 

“Thank you for three great years!! I don't know how many times one of your best bets changed my evening viewing. Or my DVR recording schedule. Recently last week with the TCM tv series. I would have never heard about if it wasn't for TWW. TV worth watching is my home computer's homepage and will continue to be. It's one of my favorite web pages. Keep up the excellent work!” —Ryan D., TVWW Reader
 

"In addition to coverage of House of Cards and Homeland on Bianculli's blog, you'll also find coverage of PBS and various miniseries that you won't find on blogs that are more dependent on advertiser dollars… Bianculli's blog is television criticism worth reading." —Brenden Gallagher, Complex.com
 

"Awesome, TVWW, and in this case writer Ed Martin, have once again proved how truly excellent they are in their stories...and finding tidbits to share with their readers. Again, I say TVWW you are Awesome." —Bill, TVWW Reader
 

Been here from the beginning and consider this to be the bastion of what TV used to be and what it should still be like.” — P. Crabb, TVWW Reader
 

TVWW is one of the first five websites I check everyday. I love when you point out something I should be watching but haven't remotely heard of previously…” —Erin, TVWW Reader
 

Thanks to all of you writing for TVWW. You have helped highlight many shows (and movies) I might not otherwise have found. From classics to institutions to sports and those shows taken off the air too soon, thanks for highlighting the interesting.” —Patrick, TVWW Reader
 

I feel your blog site was made for me. Everything I enjoy watching seems to end up being talked about here… I read TVWW almost every day and you've all helped inform many of my tv watching choices over the years, much to my delight.” — TVWW Reader, RInnie


"This is one of the reasons I love visiting your site everyday!...I had to decide whether I was going to invest in another new broadcast. You've sealed the deal and rest assured my DVR is set for both nights of what is sure to be most satisfying viewing. Thank you." —Keith, TVWW Reader
 

"In addition to coverage of House of Cards and Homeland on Bianculli's blog, you'll also find coverage of PBS and various miniseries that you won't find on blogs that are more dependent on advertiser dollars… Bianculli's blog is television criticism worth reading." —Brenden Gallagher, Complex.com
 

“I actually started watching Justified - at your suggestion - when it premiered three years ago. I'm not the most sophisticated of your readers - but it's my opinion that this show has the best writing, best acting, best comedy, and best drama on tv. And last night, the final scene/dialogue was one of the most powerful moments on the show as a whole. It actually brought tears to my eyes..” —R. Orr, TVWW Reader

November 5, 2012 marked the fifth anniversary of the TVWW launch, and readers wrote in to congratulate David and the writers. One loyal reader said, "I tell people that I love TV, but that I only watch the hidden gems, the shows that you have to spend a lot of time digging for, unless you use TV Worth Watching to find them. Congratulations, and please, keep it up!"

David wrote about TVWW being launched three years earlier on Nov. 5, 2007, the day the television writers went on strike -- and one reader wrote back, "I get so much more enjoyment from television since I started visiting this site a couple years ago. So many of my favorite shows are ones that I would have never tried at all..."

Sometimes a documentary comes along that not only is TV Worth Watching, it is TV essential to a national discussion. We were fortunate enough to find "Under Our Skin", a 2010 broadcast investigating Lyme Disease. It revealed and disproved accepted ideas around this chronic illness, and TVWW readers responded overwhelmingly. One wrote, "Thanks David...Your TV criticism is welcome and needed..."

David's blog about bringing advertising from network shows to TVWW pages elicited a spirited discussion about impartiality, integrity and for-profit journalism. One reader wrote to David: "You have an amazing amount of credibility. I and, I assume all of your other readers, trust you very much to remain unbiased in your reviews." Another wrote: "Ever since I started reading your blog (after hearing you several times on "Fresh Air"), it has become one I check daily for recommendations on what to watch..."
