I read “The Revolution Was Televised” a few years ago. Great book! I often reference it when discussing great TV shows.

fraeuleinlisa.bsky.social•158 days ago

I love your work (finished sporanos yesterday for the first time) and your companion has been a true companion while watching the series.
Forgive my stupid question, but is the February date also the releasedate in Europe? (Asking bc Emilys "Lost" book came out several weeks later than in the Us)

sepinwall.bsky.social•158 days ago

I think it varies from country to country. Germany is the same as US, looks like, while England is in March.

I just started the binge!

chellapon.bsky.social•155 days ago

Love your writing and love following you on here, but reposting Damon Lindelof is crossing a line.

Please stop before I have to unfollow on principle.

We both love TV, right? Right?!

vinosmax.bsky.social•159 days ago

Oh hell yes!

sufficientowls.bsky.social•159 days ago

Awesome!

reasonablysober.bsky.social•159 days ago

i'm going to read that one, but the lack of an Arrowverse series seems like an opening for a talented writer. just saying.

aaronhanso.me•148 days ago

Alan, my king, will there be any autographed copies of this? Potentially through legendary @mzspress.bsky.social ?

mzspress.bsky.social•148 days ago

Yes sir-y dedoo!!😁

We are already in discussions over here!💥

Of course, we will carry this amazing book by one of our favorite folk!! 🧡

aaronhanso.me•148 days ago

Delighted to hear that. I got my best friend the Breaking Bad one for his birthday years ago and would love to get this one (he of course sent it to me as a hint.)

Last year, I published my first oral history, about the rise and fall of a mid-2000s phenomenon: https://www.harpercollins.com/products/welcome-to-the-oc-josh-schwartzstephanie-savagealan-sepinwall?variant=41038093385762

I’ve also co-written two books with @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social, including a deep dive into Tony Soprano and friends: https://store.abramsbooks.com/products/the-sopranos-sessions

you two should do a little 10 year anniversary update, now that we're out of Peak TV

Back to solo books, here’s the prequel to the Better Call Saul book: https://store.abramsbooks.com/products/breaking-bad-101

Alan the audiobook of this one was SUCH a delight. I've recommended it to a bunch of people!

bobherc.bsky.social•158 days ago

Outstanding, cannot wait!

Thank you! Finding excellent holiday/birthday gifts for Spouse and feeling nostalgic for “The O.C.” message boards on TWoP.

nosregis.bsky.social•146 days ago

One of my favourite takes from BCS was the "Chicago sunroof". Makes me laugh every time ;)

sepinwall.bsky.social•146 days ago

Among the best things about that is when it comes back many eps later where Chuck screams out, “He defecated in a sunroof!” in a way that makes Chuck seem even more irrational.

Pre-ordered!

rsgreen30.bsky.social•159 days ago

I’m going to need that one!

editorjen.bsky.social•159 days ago

Just preordered it! I've also written on Jimmy/Saul (for conferences, not published) and I'm excited to read your take!

adijoseph.bsky.social•146 days ago

Alan, is BCS the best spinoff ever? Frasier? Lou Grant? The Jeffersons? (Not counting stuff like The Simpsons.)

sepinwall.bsky.social•146 days ago

I think if you disqualify Simpsons, it’s Saul or Frasier. Though Lou and Jefferson’s are great, too.

fluxnomad.bsky.social•158 days ago

This is great! Since I forgot that this is our anniversary, I will tell my husband that this is his present but it’s not coming until February.
Thanks Alan.
