As one more year wanes, why not look back a little? A zillion other bloggers are running their top moments of 2012 in all sorts of subjects. I don't have a list but I do have a number. This will be my blog's 367th and last (barring huge news) entry of the year. That's down a bit from 2010-11, but the faux tweets explain the slight decrease. Stories that might have gotten a full entry in previous years now get a quick and dirty dust-off in the sidebar.
In fact, taking into account the tweets, I've probably spilled more phosphors on the blog in 2012 than in any other year. A surprising number of new game shows cropped up this year, each spawning a bunch of entries and tweets. If you care at all, my favorite new show was GSN's Pyramid. But I had a depressing idea (borne out by Nielsen events) that the show would suffer a been-there-done-that reaction from viewers. It was just too similar to the classic Dick Clark version.
Speaking of which, I'll probably close out the year with a few peeks at GSN's all-day marathon of old and new
Pyramid. Despite continual prophecies of doom, traditional game shows somehow survive and even prosper. We'll see what 2013 brings for our little genre.
