Margaret Lyons
TIME IN WRITER
COVERS:Reviews and previews of TV shows, radio programming, DVD releases, classic films on television, Internet, technology and video games.
Lyons snagged this sweet gig by never heeding her parents' advice to get off the couch...uh...by doing lots of "research." She was the launch editor of Chicagoist, the buzzworthy website about local arts, news, media, politics, sports and culture. Before that, she was the head copy editor and only television critic for her college newspaper, a significantly less buzzworthy but equally enriching experience. Lyons is a recent graduate of the University of Chicago.
Ask me about: TiVo, Gmail, <Battlestar Galactica, the blogosphere. Too nerdy? Try America's Next Top Model, Real World/Road Rules Challenge and all the trashy but glorious reality programming out there. Ask me why HBO is worth the money; how FX, USA and Bravo changed cable; how sweeps periods could be fun, but are pretty useless; which TV shows are worth buying on DVD and which you should just catch in syndication.
