*** Aaron in LA ***

It's that time of year again. I'll be at the winter TV previews beginning
Tuesday. And TV Barn will soon be filling up with the latest news, previews and
reviews. I'll be podcasting regularly from Pasadena, too, so come by often.



*** TV Barn Podcasts (NEW) ***

The best new comedy of the season
On KMOX, Paul Harris and I talked about "Knights of Prosperity," "Dirt" and "In
