Well, the blog's been going for a few years (two and a half) now and since a good proportion of it has been reviews, I've built up a fair old count: about 500, give or take, including third-episode verdicts, et al.

This can make it a little harder for y'all to find things than I'd like. After all, I do preview and review many new US shows quite some time before they make it across the pond: Dexter, season one, started last Wednesday on ITV1 (it's already been on FX), a bit over a year after it aired in the US; and Mad Men started on BBC4 last night, six months after it first aired overseas.

There's the complete archive, the search engine and tagging here, of course. But even if the show's virile enough to have merited a tag, quite a few articles can get tagged relatively quickly (Dexter's chalked up 30 so far, while Mad Men's chalked up 13), which makes finding the review a bit of a chore.

There have been complaints.

So, after building a rudimentary lathe and after an hour or so of clanging round the back, I've put together the Reviews A-Z, a simple index of all the reviews and (almost) nothing but reviews, sorted by title in alphabetical order.

It seems to work all right, although it does make me wish I'd been a bit more rigourous in my naming conventions, a whole lot sooner, but it should be of help. You can always find it at the bottom of the reviews list in the 'Reviews' tab to the right - yes, the grey bit under the “Featured Articles” bit and above the “Recent Videos”.

Let me know if you find any problems, or if you hate it. Or if you can't find it. Oops.
