Tim Goodman at THR

Finally, the snark is back in full force.

My favorite TV critic and one of my favorite columnists, Tim Goodman, recently jumped ship from the fading, rather sad San Francisco Chronicle to The Hollywood Reporter. His columns for THR to date have been less biting than I like, but at last he introduced himself to his new readership in his finest acerbic style.

It’s a little late to say hello – like 30 days late. But if I apologize for being tardy then you’ll think it’s going to be easy to get a “sorry” out of me when I piano-wire your show, network, production company, development staff, etc. And I don’t want to lead you astray on that notion.

It's good to know the cranky pants are back on, Tim.
