Television Critic
For a period of eight months in 2005, Gardner wrote a series of humorous TV reviews on the subject of Reality Television. Entitled Telly Critic, these reviews were often scathing, yet Gardner has talked elsewhere of his great love of Reality TV. Telly Critic was brought to a close at the beginning of 2006, but Gardner has repeatedly raised the possibility of a return to this work in the future.

Famous quotes containing the words television and/or critic:
“Photographs may be more memorable than moving images because they are a neat slice of time, not a flow. Television is a stream of underselected images, each of which cancels its predecessor. Each still photograph is a privileged moment, turned into a slim object that one can keep and look at again.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Technique is really personality. That is the reason why the artist cannot teach it, why the pupil cannot learn it, and why the aesthetic critic can understand it. To the great poet, there is only one method of music—his own. To the great painter, there is only one manner of painting—that which he himself employs. The aesthetic critic, and the aesthetic critic alone, can appreciate all forms and all modes. It is to him that Art makes her appeal.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
