Home for the holidays
This blog is taking the week off
Happy holidays, everybody!
Happy Monday, folks, and an early Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate it.
I'm taking the next week off to spend some time with the family, rest, recuperate, and prepare myself for the onslaught of new shows coming up in early 2013.
There'll be a bit of new content from me during the week, including a pre-recorded Firewall & Iceberg Podcast later today where Dan and I talk about some of our least favorite shows of 2012, plus some galleries I co-wrote looking back at some big TV stories of 2012 and forward at some potentially big stories of 2013.
Have fun, stay safe, be good to each other, and I'll see you either on New Year's Eve day, or else right after the new year, as I start packing up for the winter TV critics press tour.

JanieJones Ditto Alan! I hope you and yours have a wonderful new year full of health, happiness and prosper.
December 26, 2012 at 12:24AM ESTI'd also like to make a personal comment to all who read, participate and make Hitfix possible.
I'm glad Hitfix exists as it has wonderful writers and reviewers.
I also think of many of those who have suffered a profound loss recently or those who go without while I feel fortunate enough to read this blog or have a good meal.
Many of us should feel fortunate and for those who aren't, we think, contribute and say our prayers to whatever religion we subscribe to or don't.
Have a good New Year. Stay safe.
