These recaps were written with sarcastic criticism and opinion alongside a retelling of an episode's events, which the site referred to as "snark". Their official motto is "Spare the snark, spoil the networks", a takeoff on "spare the rod, spoil the child", and its mascot is Tubeelzebub (a <a href="/wiki/Portmanteau" class="mw-redirect" title="Portmanteau">portmanteau</a> of <a href="/wiki/Television" title="Television">tube</a> and <a href="/wiki/Beelzebub" title="Beelzebub">Beelzebub</a>, "Tubey" for short), a devilish television set with horns and a pointed tail. </p><p>Initially established in 1998 to recap the show <i><a href="/wiki/Dawson%27s_Creek" title="Dawson's Creek">Dawson's Creek</a></i>, the site changed its name to <i>Mighty Big TV</i> when it expanded to other shows. It adopted the <i>Television Without Pity</i> name by 2002. The site was bought by the <a href="/wiki/Bravo_(American_TV_network)" title="Bravo (American TV network)">Bravo network</a> within <a href="/wiki/NBCUniversal" title="NBCUniversal">NBCUniversal</a> in 2007, which continued to operate it until it was shuttered in April 2014. Sometime after this point, the site and branding was acquired by <a href="/wiki/Tribune_Media" title="Tribune Media">Tribune Media</a>, who had announced plans in 2016 for a relaunch, but this was scrapped among other cost-cutting measures at Tribune in April 2017. The site's recap and forum archives remained available at the BrilliantButCancelled website until the archives went down in late 2021. </p><p><i>Television Without Pity</i> is credited with popularizing the format of television episode recaps intermixed with running commentary. The site was also known to be used by television show producers, directors, and writers to gain more immediate feedback for their works and take in the constructive criticism for their future works. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Television_Without_Pity&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The site began in late 1998 by <a href="/wiki/Sarah_D._Bunting" title="Sarah D.

Their commentary specifically focused on the show's central character <a href="/wiki/Dawson_Leery" title="Dawson Leery">Dawson Leery</a>, and Bunting said that this had caught their attention because "insidious, sexist, lazy writing had us apoplectic, not least because we're supposed to identify with a character who, on his best day, is an obnoxious, self-absorbed twit."<sup id="cite_ref-nytimes_2002_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-nytimes_2002-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Their activities included writing recaps of each episode intermixed with their criticism, establishing the use of sarcastic criticism or "snark" within these recaps. Though they did not believe they had a direct impact on <i>Dawson's Creek</i> itself, they felt that by the end of the show's run, they had seen a change in the show's writing that seemed to take the show's critics to heart.<sup id="cite_ref-nytimes_2002_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-nytimes_2002-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The <i>DawsonsWrap</i> format was popular, and by 1999, they expanded to include other shows with a similar approach, rebranding the site as <i>Mighty Big TV</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-nytimes_2002_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-nytimes_2002-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Around 2002, the site continued to expand and rebranded itself as <i>Television Without Pity</i>, providing the slogan "Spare the Snark, Spoil the Networks".<sup id="cite_ref-nytimes_2002_1-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-nytimes_2002-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 2006, Ariano and Bunting published a Television Without Pity spinoff book, called <i>Television Without Pity: 752 Things We Love To Hate (and Hate To Love) About TV</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In March 2007 the site was purchased by the <a href="/wiki/Bravo_(US_TV_channel)" class="mw-redirect" title="Bravo (US TV channel)">Bravo</a> unit of <a href="/wiki/NBCUniversal" title="NBCUniversal">NBCUniversal</a> for an undisclosed sum.<sup id="cite_ref-variety_bravo_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-variety_bravo-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <i>Television Without Pity</i> was expected to run independently under this acquisition, with Bunting and Ariano remaining in full editorial control of the site.

The abbreviated recap style – first used for coverage of <i>The Real World/Road Rules Challenge</i> and <i>Dancing with the Stars</i> during the spring – was later employed for a larger slate of summer replacement series, with eventual reconfiguring into multi-page entries. Shows with weecaps also gain dedicated forums with topic areas as with regularly recapped shows. The American version of <i><a href="/wiki/Survivor_(American_TV_series)" title="Survivor (American TV series)">Survivor</a></i> used weecap coverage for the start of its <a href="/wiki/Survivor:_China" title="Survivor: China">China season</a> but full recaps returned with that edition's 7th episode and have remained in place since then. </p><p>Shows canceled by the network (or deemed to be unpopular with the readers of TWoP) are considered to be in <i>permanent hiatus</i>, a status which is rarely reversed except for reality shows: the U.S. version of <i><a href="/wiki/Big_Brother_(American_TV_series)" title="Big Brother (American TV series)">Big Brother</a></i> returned to coverage in June 2006 when its All-Stars season began for the first time since its third season; <i><a href="/wiki/Real_World/Road_Rules_Challenge" class="mw-redirect" title="Real World/Road Rules Challenge">Real World/Road Rules Challenge</a></i> also returned to the active list in April 2007, with its recapping format switched to a shorter, real-time commentary; and while the site decided after the sixth edition of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Apprentice_(American_TV_series)" title="The Apprentice (American TV series)">The Apprentice</a></i> to stop recaps, the <i><a href="/wiki/Celebrity_Apprentice" class="mw-redirect" title="Celebrity Apprentice">Celebrity Apprentice</a></i> edition was brought back for coverage. Shows placed into permanent hiatus will generally have their forum threads readable but locked, and given a single dedicated thread in the appropriate miscellaneous forum categories; the recaps remain available on the site, though in the "Permanent hiatus" section. There are some exceptions; <i>Doctor Who</i> coverage was put into permanent hiatus after the 2nd season; Glark commented on the action of moving the show to permanent hiatus that "If you want to know what <a href="/wiki/BitTorrent_(protocol)" class="mw-redirect" title="BitTorrent (protocol)">Bit Torrent</a> is, ask a Doctor Who fan".<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The full <i>Doctor Who</i> threaded forum was retained though moved into the Sci-Fi show category, and remains fully active with moderation. The 2005 remake of <i><a href="/wiki/Kolchak:_The_Night_Stalker" title="Kolchak: The Night Stalker">Night Stalker</a></i> holds the record for the shortest run on TWoP, having been put on Permanent Hiatus after only one recap, although the 2005 series <i><a href="/wiki/Sex,_Love_%26_Secrets" title="Sex, Love & Secrets">Sex, Love & Secrets</a></i> was expunged before even one recap, due to incredibly low viewer response in the forums.
