Link Tank: TV Blog Coalition Roundup for March 7-9

Televisionary is proud to be a member of the TV Blog Coalition. At the end of each week, we'll feature a roundup of content from our sister sites for your delectation.

This week, I was hungry for some more culinary-themed reality mayhem this week and took an advance look at the fiery season premiere of Top Chef, offered up my views on the runway collections of Project Runway finalists Christian, Rami, and Jillian, mourned the possible (but not probable) death of Owen on Torchwood.

I also cheered on the valiant couples as they dealt with children on this week's Last Restaurant Standing, recounted early renewals for six CW series (including Gossip Girl) and the eleventh hour saving of Friday Night Lights at NBC. Oh, and that discussed the possible two-hour 24 prequel that FOX still won't comment on.

Elsewhere in the sophisticated TV-obsessed section of the blogosphere, members of the TV Blog Coalition were discussing the following items...
