Aaron Barnhart<\/p><\/div>\n

Aaron Barnhart first made a name for himself in the early \u201990s as writer of the weekly fan newsletter Late Show News<\/em> and the seminal website TV Barn,<\/em> establishing his credentials as a discerning critic and a sharp writer.<\/p>\n

From his home in Evanston, where the Montana native attended Northwestern University, Barnhart moved to Missouri in 1997, beginning a 15-year run as TV critic for the Kansas City Star and continuing to cover the expanding medium.<\/p>\n

Now Barnhart and his wife are back living in Evanston \u2014 just in time to release The Primetimer Guide to Streaming TV,<\/a><\/em> published this week by Quindaro Press. (Here is the link to order.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The Primetimer Guide to Streaming TV<\/p><\/div>\n

It\u2019s an indispensable and authoritative compilation of reviews of more than 1,000 streaming shows \u2014 recommended by critics and viewers \u2014 since Barnhart became senior editor of Primetimer.com,<\/a> the online guide to \u201cqueue-worthy programming, past and present\u201d in 2019.<\/p>\n

Older TV fans may be reminded of the annual movie guides published by Leonard Maltin and Roger Ebert or The Complete Directory of Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows<\/em> by Tim Brooks and Earle Marsh. In fact, the book's foreword is written by Brooks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember what a joy it was to crack open Roger Ebert\u2019s annual video guide,\" Barnhart told me the other day. \"That was the feeling I tried to replicate with the Primetimer Guide.<\/em> Finding something to watch has become way too stressful in the streaming TV era. It\u2019s my hope that this curated guide helps take away that stress.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 432-page paperback also features dozens of clever lists to find what to watch (among our favorites was \"Detectives with Emotional Baggage\") along with a handy, money-saving guide to cord-cutting strategies.<\/p>\n

As the first book of its kind, the premiere edition of The Primetimer Guide to Streaming TV<\/em> was more than a year in the making, Barnhart said. Preparations already are underway for the next edition.<\/p>\n

Tuesday's comment of the day:<\/a> Bill Mielke:<\/strong> Olin Kreutz has always been a jerk. Bears fans who love watching him on Bears post game shows either don't know or don't remember he had teammates who also didn't like his bullying. Just ask Hunter Hillenmeyer.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
