Hello and welcome to The Couch Potato Tribune!

What we've got here is a site dedicated to pop culture, mainly in the visual media form. We are young men with too much time on our hands, and most of that time is spent occupied with some program or another. It behooves us, as rugged individualists with internet prowess, to give you some form of commentary on what is hip and happening. By that we mean to say you're going to get some insight into what television is about, with some indelible internet nuggets along the way. Additionally, we promise never to use the phrase "hip and happening" again for as long as we live.

Just who are we? Lets find out:

Justin Tasch: A recent Philosophy, Politics, and Law graduate from Binghamton University, Justin is a sweetheart on the level of a Zach Braff or an Adam Scott. In fact, he's so beloved that he's known as 'Nice Guy Tasch' throughout the Eastern seaboard. A self-starter always looking to reach new heights, Justin wrestled Abe Lincoln in his previous life (and won), and created Cheetos a la mode. He will not watch anything that is not in HD.

David Rifkin: Another recent graduate with an equally useless degree, David is what you'd call a real go-getter. In fact, he's created at least four other blogs in the past year alone. Never you mind that they're all defunct now. David is a founding member of the Illuminati, and drives an environmentally friendly car. Also, he is quite cuddly.
