CNET has bought out TVTome.com, and, in the next couple months, will be phasing over episode guides, content, etc. to their control...this oughta be interesting

From the other day:
---
Greetings, TV Tome editors!

It's our distinct pleasure to announce that, first and foremost, TV
Tome is now a part of the CNET Games & Entertainment group. As part of
this new partnership, a relaunch of the site is under way and has been
headed up by the same team that brought you GameSpot.com and MP3.com.
Additionally, the new TV Tome will live at a brand-new URL...(drumroll,
please) TV.com!

Soon the site will undergo a redesign, a user-submission tool upgrade,
and a launch of new community tools and functionality. This will allow
for better coverage of current shows, greater participation within the
community, and a whole slew of new site features. As longtime
contributors to TV Tome, we wanted you to be the first ones to hear this
exciting news.

Right now, we invite you to check out our new TV.com forums. Please
note, however, that the forums are the only "live" portion of the new
TV.com site. Essentially, they represent what the new design and layout
will look like. As well, we want to solicit your feedback as to what types
of new features you'd be interested in seeing on TV.com. Treat this
like a wish list: There's no idea that's too small, and there's no concept
that's too crazy. We want to hear any and all input you've got!

Please be aware that you'll have to register with our new system before
you can post messages in the forums. Again, feel free to request site
enhancements, voice questions, or just interact with fellow TV Tomers.
This is your forum. So get in there, and get nuts!

Thanks again for your continued support, and get ready for the launch
of TV.com!

Sincerely,

The TV Tome and TV.com Team

I can't help but remember what happened when CNet bought MP3.com and butchered it. On the one hand, it should finally clean up a lot of the crap that's been allowed to filter through the cracks over the years, but on the other, the site is going to lose pretty much it's entire "community" feel.

Great, just great.

I hope they don't change things too much.

I love TV Tome. It's a great resource.

Mr. Television · 04-24-2005, 10:45 AM

I hope they keep the episode guides as is. Some over there are really good.

Brent88 · 04-24-2005, 11:35 AM

This looks like it's going to suck.

I love TV Tome.

I've seen a few that were really wrong though.

Are you kidding? Why did you put Sitcom Online with a Disney character?
