About

BRBTV.com
Created in 1998, BRBTV is a series of fun fact books and shorter reference guides on classic television shows: primetime soaps "Dynasty" and "Dallas," the action-adventures "The Dukes of Hazzard," "Wonder Woman," "The Secrets of Isis" and "The Green Hornet," along with a host of fab animated series like "Super Friends" and "Scooby-Doo." Founded with the mission of spreading "peace, love and useless information about television," BRBTV seeks to inform, with a solid journalistic expertise, on these shows and their stars, as well as a sprinkling of the TV world in general. While this news blog takes a journalistic approach, with many posts delivered straight-on, you will see some attitude here. You will see an opinion or three (and unfortunately, you will see us attempt to crack jokes once in a while!). That's why a blog format was chosen. Just sayin'.
