The Fast Lane–Internet, Books, and TV Shows

[The Berkley Babes, Catherine Spangler] — Catherine Spangler @ 8:43 pm

Well, this is my last post, and it’s the only time I’ve been late getting it out. Maybe it’s because I hate for the blog to end. Very soon, we’ll be doing a special farewell post where all the Berkley Babes will offer final words of wisdom (or whatever!), so be sure to check back for the last post.  

Life is speeding by, with daily changes occurring at a mind-boggling rate. Now we have all kinds of blogs, and MySpace and myriad other chat rooms and events on the Internet. It’s almost too much to take in. Life in the fast lane for planet Earth.

Even our TV shows reflect the changes in our society. I’m amazed by the programming, the CSI shows, the police and medical dramas, the wide array of paranormal and science fiction shows, and the reality shows. Wow. People talk about how romance novels aren’t in touch with the real world, but if that’s true, neither is television. But what do the nay-sayers know? Do we want the real reality? Personally, I’d prefer to be entertained, and to enter a world (even if it’s make believe) where the sky is the limit.

I’ve always done that with romances, and now, to some extent, I can do it with certain TV shows. Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of time to watch TV, but I’m definitely into Dancing With The Stars and American Idol. I’ve been glued to the TV when they’re on, and voting like a maniac when the show goes off the air. I also love Medium (cool woo-woo stuff) and House (snarly House, super melodrama, usually with a happy ending), and The Dresden Files (which appears to be off the air now) and CSI. Cool, cool stuff that gives me fodder for my books.

So, what cool TV shows do you like to watch?
