The TV Blog Coalition - The Winter Slowdown

So most of the shows are slowly winding down before the holidays with shows going on hiatus after this week or next week until the new year. Plus I'm starting to think about my end of year lists and I still need to do some massive theatre reviews catch-up but alas, the "Oscar" movies are pouring out in droves and there's still a few more new episodes to cherish (like this Monday's terrific year end Gossip Girl and two more Eli Stone's) and just as the snow has started falling and I've decided to hibernate for the winter. Damn it's cold outside. (Yah, I'm all over the place and my mind has gotten a cold freeze so bare with me).
