Guidelines for Reviewing TV Shows and Movies

Review Length

750 word maximum

If you want others to hear your opinion, we'd suggest 50 to 250 words.

What to include:

More than "I like this show." More than "I didn't like this show." We're looking for the why behind your thoughts and feelings about the show.

• Acting?
• Directing?
• Characters?
• Plot?
• Writing?
• Cinematography?
• Whatever...
• 
  "It made me laugh."
• "It made me cry."

What not to include

Alameda Power & Telecom wants to provide a forum for you to speak up freely about TV programming. However, we ask the following:

• Please don't get into personal arguments with other reviewers. This is not a forum for debate. Everyone has a right to his or her own opinion.
  • Please, don't quote directly from other reviews.
  • Please don't belittle any reviewer specifically.
• No obscenities, profanities, swearing.
• No phone numbers, mail addresses, URLs.

Since Alameda Power & Telecom is a department of the City of Alameda, to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest, we cannot publish any comments on City of Alameda affairs or officials.
