TVScape.NET

I have been think­ing on cre­at­ing TVScape.NET web­site (maybe not under the same name) for over a year now. And now that the site finally goes live, maybe it’s a good idea to go over some of the rea­sons I wanted this web­site, and why such web­site is needed.

My idea is basi­cally to write reviews on TV shows. But I don’t think that is fair to rate full series with a sin­gle post, so I will write reviews for each sea­son. Many TV shows qual­ity varies from sea­son to sea­son and it’s not fair to put all sea­sons in a sin­gle review. Review­ing each episode will be too much and in many cases unnec­es­sary, because you don’t watch TV show for a sin­gle episode, at least I don’t.

I really like watch­ing TV shows, in recent years much more than movies. And many peo­ple ask me for advice on what shows are worth watch­ing. And it would be much eas­ier if I could rec­om­mend a web­sites with TV Shows reviews. And there is noth­ing like that, at least I wasn’t able to find one. There are many web­sites that have lists of shows, episodes and all kinds of infor­ma­tion, but no real reviews and rat­ings, noth­ing to rec­om­mend you what to watch.

So, here we are, TVS­cape will offer you rated reviews for many TV shows, all reviews will be sea­son based and will include rat­ing by the review author (for now just me), some basic data about the sea­son and will allow for web­site users to make com­ments on the show and give their own short reviews and rat­ing. Commenter’s rat­ings will be aggre­gated and shown along with the author rat­ings. So, this will help read­ers to get clear pic­ture on the shows qual­ity. Data will be aggre­gated by actors, pro­duc­tion coun­tries, broad­cast TV sta­tions, show cre­ators and other things.. To spice things up, web­site will fea­ture rel­e­vant TV news (again picked by me).

As the design goes, plan is to add new one every few weeks. Basic lay­out will be the same, but some col­ors and header will be changed. First lay­out is ded­i­cated to my favorite TV show called Farscape, and this show also inspired the web­site name. Right now web­site fea­tures Fire­fly and The West Wing shows. What­ever you set as the theme will be stored in cookie for other web­site pages you visit.

All sug­ges­tions on the web­site improve­ments are wel­come. Leave a comment.
