Bottom Of The Barrel

"Famous" Bloggers

There is a new trend in television and that is blogs written in the voice of the character. This allows the show to extend beyond the 30 minute to 1 hour weekly time slot to engage the viewer. Some examples are:

Dave's Diatribe (Dave Groves, Invasion - ABC)
Emerald City Bar (Joe the Bartender, Grey's Anatomy - ABC)
Santos Campaign Blog (Rep. Matt Santos, The West Wing - NBC)
Robin's Daily Dose (Dr. Robin Scorpio, General Hospital - ABC)
Nigel's Blog (Dr. Nigel Townsend, Crossing Jordan - NBC)

My personal favorites are:

Schrute-Space (Dwight K. Schrute, The Office - NBC)
Barney's Blog (Barney Stinson, How I Met Your Mother - CBS)

These are two of my favorite shows and each blog gives you more insight into the story lines and characters and I have been a faithful reader of both Dwight and Barney's Blogs since their inception. Here are a few gems from each:

Dwight K. Schrute:

The use of paper cups instead of ceramic [at a paper company]
Hobbies can come before dating, especially when you obtain a Crested Heater Shield in WarCraft A coffee maker is a robot, which is not evil
Giving "110%" is virtually impossible
Dwight's theories on Lost
Fact: Men are better at facts

Barney Stinson:

Licking the National Monuments
24 ways in which women are like fish
Get Psyched 2006 Party Mix CD
Brocabulary [Encyclopedia Brotannica - Barney's Guide to Bronunciation]
Recycling - Things we enjoyed in the 90's that are no longer cool [Note props for SBTB]

Now if there was just get a blog for JD [White Shadow] and Turk [Brown Bear] or The Todd from Scrubs I would be in business. Hammock Up!
