Not really from my earliest days on the net, but the early 2000s feels like early days now: Television Without Pity and Fametracker, in particular the "2 Stars 1 Slot" and "Hey, It's That Guy!" columns.
I came across TWOP kinda late in the game, but in the era before streaming and fragmented forums (fora?), it was a good way to catch up on Project Runway and get other viewers perspectives.
I wonder if a site like that could reach critical mass nowadays.
