About April P. Bernard

I’ve been covering television – make that devouring television - for decades.(The first question I ever asked at TCA was about The Pretender. Look it up!) As senior and then deputy editor at Us Weekly, I headed up the magazine’s TV coverage, from reviews to cover stories, for 10+ years. As a freelancer, my writing and editing has appeared in Emmy, Cosmopolitan, TV Guide, Seventeen, Women’s Health, Marie Claire and way too many print titles that no longer exist (Teen People, Mademoiselle, Self…). I\'m a longtime member of the Television Critics Association and the Critics Choice Association. I’ve also been interviewed as a TV expert for print and broadcast, including CNN, E! and the Los Angeles Times. Currently I\'m the exec editor at TV Guide Magazine. It\'s a demanding,\"little bit of everything\" gig.but I\'m still hoping to find time to rewatch the entirety of Sports Night and Moonlighting.
