It occurs to me that some people who keep an eye on this blog might not know: Adam Finley, one of our long-time bloggers, died a few days ago in a traffic accident. It happened on Thursday; we found out Saturday morning. Adam was in TV Squad from the start, and was one of the great blogging talents in our company -- funny, quirky, a little unhinged, dry, very imaginative, trusting of the reader to get the joke.

TV Squad is running an all-day tribute to Adam, reposting selected entries. Even in the shock and sorrow over the weekend, there was an uplifting quality to watching the staff clamor over Adam's wonderful posts, everyone claiming favorite gems to highlight. Reading through his stuff is like watching a DVD collection of a show you loved when it was first on.

There is little consolation here, but it is good to know that Adam's wit and terrific personality will live uninterruptedly in the blog. Search engines deliver visitors to pages regardless of when they were produced. Even years from now, readers will LOL over one of Adam's peculiar scenarios, and imagine him at his computer that very day, typing gleefully. That's how I'll always remember him.
