Is AV Club Just Trying To Get More Hits?

Read the first thread of comments. People start talking about the Best Show and then Telfer comes in to confirm that he listens to the whole 3 hours.


FYI: I enjoy Mr. Telfer's comedy a whole lot.

Also, I posted his name not because I want this to turn into a witch hunt or a shaming. I was hoping that by humanizing the faceless reviews on Podmass we can all take a step back and realize: this is just one person's opinion.

Yeah, of course we all thought this week's episode was inspired and it was absolutely. Doesn't mean everyone has to and if they disagree then we jump down their throats.

Isn't Tom always one of the first people to say "like what you like"?

Telfer is not writing it anymore.

Also, read the list of contributors this week. Telfer is not listed.

And Dan posted this yesterday in the Best Show thread on AST:

The tales of bullying had some of my favorite Best Show minutes ever. And that final moment of GURK laughs from Julie and Tom over her travel eligibility was perfect. Great one.

So there's that.

Ok, well I stand corrected.

However, I think my point about this being just one person's opinion is still valid. Because we are all big fans these boards can become an echo chamber sometimes.

I think it's helpful to have some perspective on this.
