Well, I had it for a few hours. The editorship of The Untouchables. Long enough to moderate all my pending submissions for that show. Then it was taken away when they gave the MIA assclown back his carryover points from TV Tome. Sent a message out to Missribs hoping to get the situation rectified. Hopefully, I can somehow get trusted user status. You can't lose what you never had is the old saying which DOES NOT hold true in my case. I had it but it was taken away. This truly sucks. They need to take away all these TV Tome carryover points from these MIA editors so that people who want the job can have it.

Still no CP update. I've got 36 accepted submission for The Untouchables and 65 pending submissions. Once they all get accepted and accumulated I should finally make editor for that show. That is, if they don't re-instate all that MIA assclown's points from TV Tome. Which is the reason for no CP update in the first place so I might be out of luck anyway. What does this site do about MIA editors? This assclown hasn't been here basically since the switchover but if he re-gains all his points from TV Tome he'll be editor forever.

It sure would be nice if they'd run a submission points update before Christmas. They haven't run one all week. If they would ever run one I'd be close to getting editorship of The Untouchables. I should get it whenever the submission points run and they get around to approving my pending submissions for that show. Hopefully that will occur sometime before New Year. The leveling up process has been screwed up too ever since that one clod hit Level 50. It screwed up the entire system and I've never gotten any credit for submission points for Perry Mason that I did around that period. They say things have gone haywire in the submission points update because they added some glossy new features to the site and these new features messed up the system. That's TV.com for you. Style and fluff over substance.

It appears as though my large number of submission points aren't being totaled into my leveling up scores. I don't understand this because they have been in the past. I guess that bug from a week ago hasn't been worked out yet. I should have gotten a huge jump in levels because of all the submissions I've had accepted. I know I've been hard on the TV.com staff in the past but I'd like to give kudos to a staff member who calls herself Missribs. Her replies to a couple of my inquiries have been prompt, courteous, and satisfactory. I have no doubt that Missribs will someday become CEO of CNET if she keeps up the good work.

The staff finally got to all my submissions for Perry Mason AND The Untouchables today. My quotes for The Untouchables got rejected because I didn't use the proper format but I was sorta expecting that so it's no big deal. They also made me the new editor for Perry Mason because I passed the previous editor in submission points. A couple of my Untouchables submissions were virtual duplicates of each other so I'll have to try and do something about that. Anyway, I guess this is a great way to begin a weekend. Wonder how much of a jump in Levels I'll get.

Great news! Got nearly all of my submission for Perry Mason accepted so I should be seeing a huge jump in my level real soon. I counted 10 that I have still pending but that includes two new ones which I sent out today. Others pending are 3 for McCloud, one for Cynthia Watros, one for Lawrence Dobkin, one for Bruce Gordon, and 118 for The Untouchables. A grand total of 134 the earliest of which are July 12.

Lo and behold, there's another serious glitch or bug or whatever at TV.com. I know what you're thinking: what else is new? It appears as though the levels have gone haywire. I rose from Level 17 to Level 43 and numerous others have risen to Level 50 which is supposedly the highest level one can reach on this site. These glitches and bugs are becoming comical rather than annoying. This site has become a mediocre parody of the old TV Tome site. Anyway, I posted reviews of Just Say Julie, an old show on MTV, and Nehemiah Persoff in case anyone is interested.

Been moving pretty slow the past few days but not because of inactivity here at TV.com. Made a whole bunch of submissions as you know if you've bothered with reading any of my previous blogs but haven't done hardly any reviewing. I've only wrote one review in the past week--Heather Thomas. Guess I'll have to start doing some more reviews if I want to get past being a Wacky Neighbor. The TV.com staff is moving at its usual snail's pace in regards to submissions so it appears as though I won't see much progress there for a while.

My contribution points are finally appearing on some shows. I'm the top contributor for The Fugitive, number two for Maverick, and am in the Top 10 for Bewitched, The Untouchables, Twilight Zone, Wagon Train, and Dukes of Hazzard. Wait until they get those Perry Mason submissions. LOL.
