Is anyone else unable to go to the website? At least for me, it’s been “down” for the last 24 hours at least.

What’s a suitable replacement? Is there anything that comes close to it?

It’s up for me, but it is a little slow to load.

In a pinch, you can get TV biblios from [TVtome.com](http://TVtome.com).

Maybe you ought to scan for spyware on your computer, since pages being undisplayable for you, while they are displayable for others, is a redflag. I used IMDB a lot yesterday, so I know it wasn’t down.

It has been annoying slow and/or “down” for me for the last few weeks. So you’re not alone.
