About TV Show Patrol

About TV Show Patrol: TV Show Patrol is your online home for fast, fun and informative TV news, reviews, interviews and previews. This new site springs from the TV column launched at redeyechicago.com by Curt Wagner. After several funtastic years at RedEye, Curt has moved on to a new adventure—founding this site in April 2015 to do the thing he loves.

OK, I’ve got to stop writing about myself in third person! I love TV and now I’m writing about it full time at TV Show Patrol. I’ll have interviews with TV actors, directors and producers; reviews and previews of series; trend pieces, and coverage of such events as C2E2 and San Diego Comic-Con.

My current TV favorites include “Penny Dreadful,” “Game of Thrones,” “Vikings,” “Orphan Black,” “Outlander,” “Man in the High Castle,” “Daredevil,” “Sherlock,” “Doctor Who,” “Homeland,” “Madam Secretary,” “Grantchester,” “Poldark,” “The Walking Dead,” “The Strain,” “Fortitude” and many more. But that’s always evolving so don’t hold me to just those.

Favorite TV shows of the past include “Strike Back,” “Justified,” ”Breaking Bad,” “Southland,” “China Beach,” “The Carol Burnett Show,” “Friday Night Lights,” “Farscape,” “Stargate Universe,” any Lucille Ball show, “Sanctuary,” the “Poirot” and “Miss Marple” movies and ”Spartacus.”

I’m still based in Chicago, home of the “One Chicago” franchise as well as “APB” and “Empire.” In my spare time—besides watching TV—I like to cook and eat, travel, hang out with friends, babysit my pretend nieces, play with my cats Hugo and Twiggy, and explore Chicago.
