STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER:
Dominick Dusseault – A self-professed TV Addict, Dominick was raised with a remote control in his hand. A resident of Montreal Canada, his passion for all things television drew him to take a long dreamed of pilgrimage to Los Angeles in 2006 where he attended his first few panels at the Museum of Television & Radio’s (now the Paley Center for Media) PaleyFest and has been attending the Festival every year since.
Of course, being such a die-hard TV fan, one yearly festival wasn’t enough so he soon added trips to programs presented by the Paley Center (in both New York and Beverly Hills), New York and San Diego Comic-Con as well as Austin’s ATX Television Festival to his yearly roster.
More recently he has turned to his new-found love of photography as a way to share with friends and other TV fans some of the highlights from these once in a lifetime events.
MONTHLY GUEST COMMENTATOR:
Roz is an LA-ish native, who fell in love with TV at a young age with NBC’s Thursday night line up (The Cosby Show, A Different World), and ABC’s TGIF (Full House, Boy Meets World, Family Matters), before falling in love with comedies and dramas well above her age (Murphy Brown, Chicago Hope, ER).
As a teen, she fell in love with Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, but TV fully gripped her during college with The OC, The West Wing and many more. Daria, too, was formative in her TV and cultural education.
For some reason, Roz still loves teen shows, along with comedies and dramas across the networks. Currently, she’s watching over fifteen shows including iZombie, Jane the Virgin, Arrow [among others], and will give as much insight into them as she can.
COVERAGE AT RUEBEN’S RAMBLINGS:
While I am not a fan of certain genres *cough* comedies *cough* and certain aspects of pop culture – like reality TV, politics and sports – with the newest addition to our staff, readers will notice a change in coverage here at Rueben’s Ramblings.
Please know, however, that Rueben’s Ramblings will NOT focus on celebrity rumor and/or scandal or anything pertaining to the personal lives of anyone involved in the entertainment industry. To us, it is simply none of our business.
Thanks and enjoy!

I LOVE this Lee Ann and look forward to all your blogs
Thanks, Mary. I hope you’ll visit as often as you can.
Great blog! If you have some time check out my TV site, http://www.toomuchtotivo.com.
I’m glad you like my blog. I work hard on making it informative and fun. I did check out your blog too; and I like the stories about the scripted shows that you have up there. I can’t say that I’m a fan of reality (I’m not really) so I had to skim passed your stories on that genre, though. I hope you will come back to visit again soon.
Hello,
My name is Ben and I’m working with Lifetime to help spread the awareness about a new breast cancer film premiering next week.
“FIVE” is an anthology of five short films exploring the impact of breast
cancer on people’s lives directed by Jennifer Aniston, Alicia Keys, Demi
Moore, Patty Jenkins and Penelope Spheeris.
Through an interconnected story arc that uses humor and drama to focus on
the effect breast cancer and its different stages of diagnosis have on
relationships and the way women perceive themselves while searching for
strength, comfort, medical breakthroughs and, ultimately, a cure. Five
highlights the shared experience each short film’s title character –
“Charlotte” (Goodwin), “Cheyanne” (Fonseca), “Lili” (Dawson), “Mia”
(Clarkson) and “Pearl” (Tripplehorn) – endures from the moment of diagnosis.
FIVE premieres Monday, October 10th at 9/8c on Lifetime and we would really appreciate your help in spreading the word about the film so if you could post/tweet/facebook anything that would be incredible.
I’ve put some videos and more information below and attached a poster of the show. Many thanks for your time and let me know if you are interested.
Best,
Ben

Coverage for the debut of this movie is already set to go up. Thank you for posting.
I enjoy your blog – I’m a fan of Jane Austen as well! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you are enjoying the Jane Austen articles (there are several more coming, by the way) and that you’ll visit as often as you can.
I just saw your blog only today. Your do and don’t write about lists seem to be in line with my choices although I haven’t seen all the do’s.
I think I will stop by again later. Best wishes for continued, informative coverage of TV shows.
I hope you will visit the site as often as you can.
I like your recommendations for Movie of the Week. I love romantic movies.
I’m glad you like the recommendations and thank you for visiting my site and taking the time to comment. I hope you will visit here as often as you can. Happy viewing!
Thank you. I’m back again. 🙂
I noticed the Monthly Calendar and IMHO – it’s fabulous.
Since when are you making it? I really hope:
1st) it is not a new thing on your blog
2nd) you keep an archive record somewhere
Please say “YES”! Two times!
Yes, I update the calendar every month and it’s been around since nearly the beginning of my blog; and yes, I have archives of nearly every single piece I’ve ever posted here. 😀
Taking into account the risk of being taken as cheeky and presumptuous I will go after another “yes”. Can you upload part of them for me? I’m looking for Christmas movies that are shown around this time of the year, in November and December 201x (2010-2012). In my home collection I have almost everything from Hallmark that is made in the past ten years. Now I’m searching for new ones. If you let me look around I’m sure I will find some recently made for TV Christmas movies, may be from Lifetime, ION or ABC Family. What will you say? 😉
If you provide me your email address, I can send you a list of the holiday movies from my monthly calendars for those years (2010 to 2012) to help you with your collection.
Hey Lee Ann I’m kinda new to your blog. I was wondering can we ask you questions about favorite show?
You sure can and I’ll do my best to give you as accurate an answer as I can. Ask away.
Ok thanks but I really can’t ask you the question because the show hasn’t came out yet. So I will ask you down the line when it premiere. 🙂
Ask me your question(s) anytime you’d like. Thanks for visiting my site.
You’re welcome Lee Ann.
