Oh no.... TV Tome has gone all CNet on us...

Check it out... One of the best sites on the internet (apart from this one ;) ) has changed in a big way : TVTome is now TV.com, and at first glance it doesn`t look too good :(

Akk! Its had a knock on at epguides too. Plain text replaced by chugging graphics and whizzy banners.

This sounds like a job for adblock!



What are you gonna do today Nick? Whatever I want to, Gosh!!

Today`s change could not be described as `gradual` - it`s a complete replacement of design, information structure and functionality. A lot of the content doesn`t seem to have come over either. It wasn`t like that yesterday.

Ive noticed a previious design change, plus a gradual onset of `smilie adverts... so a somewhat incremental change...

And am i right in thinking the episode recaps have gone kaput?

Just had a look at it this morning and episode guide and cast lists seem to be missing for some shows. Also it is bloody slow on my pc to scroll down episode lists etc.

The episode reviews seem to have disappeared, at least for Alias...

Change for the worse IMO >:(

I liked the old site, very fast and easy to find stuff.

I couldn`t find episode guides for 24 either.

The RSS feed is gone as well - that was really useful to (ahem) look for what shows were airing in the US at night...

Can`t say I`m liking the new `TV.com` - come back TV Tome, I`ll visit you more often!

I`m just making really good use of the Google cache : Do a search for the episode title and series name, and then get a page with a link to the review on. Then copy the link address and search again in Google with the cache: prefix, and Bob`s you father`s brother :D
