I decided to lay the TV.com staff on the slab. Made 173 submissions yesterday evening and today. All on the guest stars for episodes of Perry Mason. That show ran for nine years and 271 episodes so you know there's a lot. Plus only about 10% or so of the episodes in the guide have a full cast list. I wish I could be a fly on the wall when some TV.com staff weenie spots his queue and sees a ton of submissions for Perry Mason. I don't even care if it takes two months for them to get accepted. I'm just gonna load them down with submissions. Let 'em work up a sweat.

Got a 28% rise in my level today. The largest single day rise in quite a while for me. Had a bunch of submissions accepted yesterday. You must get more points for submissions than you do for reviews and blogs. Who knows the mysterious ways in which TV.com works?

Got my remaining submissions for Dukes of Hazzard and The Fugitive accepted in the past two days. All I lack now are all my submissions for Perry Mason, The Untouchables, and Maverick plus three for actors.

After seemingly endless stints in Ginsuville and Church Ladyland I finally moved into Level 17 this morning. I'm officially a Wacky Neighbor now. That's much better.

Wrote reviews of Dobie Gillis, Mancuso FBI, and nine episodes of Maverick today. Got 8 submissions accepted as well including all the ones for Bewitched.

Wrote reviews of Taxi, WKRP in Cincinnati, and the New WKRP in Cincinnati this evening. Maybe that will give my Level a decent rise. I want out of Church Ladyland almost as badly as I wanted out of Ginsuville.

Once again no action whatsoever on any of my submissions. I still have 166 pending and it's now been exactly two months since my earliest submission. Still the apologists claim that the staff is working hard and doing the best they can under the circumstances. Be patient, say the shills, and the backlog will be taken care of. I hope it gets taken care of before Christmas.

Well, it looks like the Blogs and the Forums are back this afternoon after being down yesterday and this morning. I hope the "maintenance" fixed things. Sure wish they'd get some staff people to work weekends to put an end to the submission backlog. Come Wednesday it will be two weeks since I've had a submission accepted or rejected.

Posted reviews of Leave It to Beaver and Fawlty Towers. No change in my level for two days. Guess they've gotten lazy again on that. At least they restored the Friends' Recent Blogs and Friend's Recent posts features to the profile page. I was wondering what happened to them. Seems they took them off to try and fix some other bug. They didn't fix the bug and people complained about the absence of the features. Hells Bells!

Posted reviews of the Jerry Springer Show and TCOT Blonde Bonanza, an episode of Perry Mason. Haven't had any action on my submissions in over a week. Guess the staff is taking an extended Labor Day vacation.
