October 19, 2011

Judy Weightman

Age: 56

Watching TV from: East Falls.

Guilty pleasure: ABC's "Dancing with the Stars."

If she could make Barbara Walters any kind of tree, she'd be: "A bonsai, in a teeny pot."

Favorite show of all time: Season 1 of "Murder One."

Still sad they canceled: "Homefront."

Story continues below.

From her review of NBC's (now-canceled) "The Playboy Club": "I'm pretty sure I wasn't supposed to laugh when the naive bunny, struggling with the creepy old guy trying to rape her, kicks him in the neck with a stiletto heel and kills him."

Craig Liggeons

Age: 45

Watching TV from: Rittenhouse Square.

Current guilty pleasures: The CW's "Gossip Girl," MTV's "Teen Mom."

Show he loves but is at least three episodes behind on: FX's "Sons of Anarchy."

From his review of ABC's "Suburgatory": "While the 'fish out of water' theme has been done to death, the snappy, pithy dialogue with just a touch of poignancy reminded me of some vintage 'Gilmore Girls' episodes."

Robert Dougherty

Age: 26

Watching TV from: Northeast Philadelphia.

Still sad they canceled: "Arrested Development."

Guilty pleasure: "Glee."

What else he'd want other Daily News readers to know about him: "I have written three self-published books about 'Lost.' "

From his review of CBS' "Person of Interest": [It's] a procedural show, an action thriller and a post-9/11 parable all at once. These elements all yield solid moments and show that this could be a hard-hitting series . . . but don't always come together in the pilot."

Chris Monigle

Age: 24

Watching TV from: Roxborough.

Favorite show of all time: "Lost."

Still sad they canceled: "Angel," "Terriers."

Last time he'd watched a network evening newscast: Previous night.

From his review of the CW's "The Secret Circle": "Kevin Williamson's involvement [as executive producer] ensures a daring and unpredictable hour of TV."

Andrew Seawell

Age: 51

Watching TV from: Northeast Philadelphia.

Favorite show of all time: "The Prisoner" (the original, not the AMC remake).

Guilty pleasure: ABC's "Castle."

From his review of Fox's "Terra Nova": I was excited by this concept before I watched the pilot, and I'm loath to write this show off. But it seems to demand to be ignored with each new plot twist."
