YOU'VE GOT CRITIC! ALOTT5MA Friend Mo Ryan has announced she's jumping from the Chicago Tribune to AOL TV, joining Alan Sepinwall in making the digital leap. Mo's interviews and pieces (archived at the Trib) are always great, and she's been especially good about highlighting shows that don't always get a critical spotlight (Spartacus and Supernatural are both faves of hers that I've never watched but that I know don't get a lot of mainstream critical attention). Congrats to her on the new gig, and congrats to AOL TV on landing someone that'll get me to start visiting there more regularly.

  2. Here's the thing--the Trib's big enough that it might well be looking for a new TV critic.  I have a feeling we have more than a few folks in the Chicagoland area who'd jump on that one.

    Now I just need to, you know, have any sort of qualifications for it.  Or perhaps they could move Phil Rosenthal over from Business; he used to be the Sun-Times TV critic and was very good on that beat.
