It takes a great team of people to make "My Obsession with TV." Here are some talented folks who work consistently on MOW-TV.
Dorothy Blyskal - Easton, Pennsylvania may have been the birth place of Crayola crayons; but perhaps, more importantly, it was the birth place of Dorothy Blyskal, comedienne extraordinaire. Dorothy has dabbled in everything from producing, to writing, to directing, and even performing. Now a Los Angeles native, Dorothy is currently a Production Coordinator for International Corporate Events. She has written for Quarterlife on NBC, and The Discovery Channel. Dorothy has even rocked out her mad shooting skills, having shot for National Geographic. Dorothy's favorite television shows run the gamut from "Saturday Night Live" to "Gilmore Girls," "30 Rock" to "Degrassi: The Next Generation," and "The Office" to "Sex & the City." She's aware that you probably judge her for some of those faves, but she's pretty sure that that's what makes her so awesome.
Stacy Citron - Stacy is currently seeking a law change so that she can marry TV, because she loves it THAT much. So it was only natural (and part of her rehabilitation) that she join the MOW-TV team. Aside from getting to work with some of the coolest people in the tv blogosphere, Stacy can be found trying to make people laugh in comedy and karaoke clubs throughout the greater LA area. Some of Stacy's favorite tv shows include; "The Big Bang Theory," "Grey's Anatomy," "The Goldbergs," "Private Practice," "Modern Family," "The Office" and "Family Guy." The shows she loves but won't admit in public: "Make it or Break it," "Vampire Diaries" and "Jersey Shore." For more information about Stacy visit www.StacyCitron.weebly.com
