Yesterday I hit the 10,000 sub mark here at TV.com; took me just about 6 months to get here from 5000, which means the next mark, 20,000 will probably take me a year! Best to not even think about it I know, but the countdown starts now.

If the Editor bug doesn't get me, I should become the editor for Lewis Black's Root of all Evil. I'm pleased by the fact that it already has a banner. I know its no "Daily Show" or "Colbert" but hopefully, with the lead-in from "South Park", will gather fans to last a couple of seasons. Check it out if you have a chance.

Been busy on the personal front, arranging for utilities. I was hoping to take advantage of the local phone company's promotion of a bundled landline/Internet/mobile package and upgrade to a Nokia N95 or something. But then I found out the bundle saves me a measly $15, plus they don't have that 8GB version of that phone anyway...

I have caught up on my sleep however, and nearly everything at work. Which just leaves me with what's on my Tivo....

Have a good weekend everyone!

Subs to 20K: 9980

TV.com L54 - 55%

Gamespot L15 - 68%

I've always liked Lewis Black, but the show is missing something. Doesn't really hold my interest.

Congrats on breaking the 10k subs

Congrats on 10K, the second 10K is never as hard... Or the third...fourth...
That actually looks like a show I would watch, maybe if I notice it on UK TV I'll give it a go. Well done on getting a bannered guide!

Congrats on reaching 10,000 subs mrn . I'm not sure if I'll reach 20,000 by the end of this year (Especially as the BBC still haven't sorted out what they are going to do with the information from their Programme Catalogue), but I'll probably be able to reach 15,000 subs or more .

And I hope you have a good weekend too .

Auntie, it's still early days, so hopefully it has a chance to get better.

Thanks Angus, Dan. Looks like the editor bug is preventing me from getting my guide, but hopefully it will kick in soon.

LB, thanks, and I hope that catalogue comes back soon.

Lin, thanks. Yes, I think you're about a level and a half away from that top 100.

danmod wants anyone who doesn't get their guide to PM him after a couple of days, I'm suggest you send him one!
The catalogue message has now changed so it looks like it won't be coming back in the form of a catalogue but incorporated into the regular BBC website.

Yeah, I saw that just a bit ago Dan. I'll give it a few more hours and see if they push out a fix, since it's Friday.

Hopefully the change means the BBC shows no longer airing still have information available/accessible.

"Hopefully the change means the BBC shows no longer airing still have information available/accessible."

That's what I'm hoping too.

I've got enough useable information to allow me enough subs to reach my goal of level 60, but my sources will dry up eventually .

LB: That's what I say every week! Though 15,000 subs later (around when the catalogue gave in) I'm still going strong! If the catalogue came back though I've got at least 10-15,000 subs to do in the guides I already edit!

I'm definately lucky that I have Newsnight, because with the Catalogue unavailable, I would be seriously screwed at the moment, lol .

I've seen one episode of Lewis Black's show; Trump vs. Viagra. It was pretty funny.

Congrats on the sub milestone. I'd have more but tptb won't act on a request I've had in for a month or more now to add a show, I even resubmitted my request to no avail.

Luckily I have a few current shows that will keep the subs coming. I barely manage over 20 subs a day though, so it's ok.

Thanks Tommy. I hate the fact that if a show isn't added, you never know.

Congrats on the subs and catching up on your sleep and stuff at work
