I still read,and i enjoy it,it builds and uses your imagination,like nothing else can.
I feel im part of a dying breed.

Not gonna lie to you but my daughter is an avid reader. And she reads so fast!! Just like her Dad. They both can tackle at least a book per week without even trying. Gee, you dont need to know the grusome facts about her Dad and his "Throne" reading habits. BUT she still does all the other medias as well. Computer addict, tv junkie, etc AND a straight A student so as long as she keeps going in this direction Im good.

Ive said before that I think TV reduces your creativity. I am an addict. Not to actually sitting in front of the TV anymore but I download tons of tv shows. That way I can get more in without having to watch commercials. When I was a kid i could write a short story in the blink of an eye with all of the ideas swimming in my brain but as I got more hooked on tv I just couldnt do it anymore. Maybe they are linked maybe not, who knows.

Especially with all this cowpoo reality TV,it's not even real,they're in front of a camera.
Of course they'll behave differently.
  I download everything i watch,with the exception of Star Trek while im eating dinner.
But i have the box set DVD's of TNG & DS9.

I quit watching tv. Mostly I watch dvds.
Im allways buying new ones, and have exceeded 400 that ive bought and about 100 that ive downloaded and burned off.
Tv isnt like it used to be , not with the advent of reality tv shows that cost nothing to make and rake in billions from the couch potatoes out there.
 Whatever happend to the network movie of the week?
I remember a movie on some network every night, and late night movies.
Now its all relaity tv,NCIS, Law and Order and Jag spinoffs.
Late night is loaded with late night talk shows.
I remember when it was Johnny Carson and David Letterman , and thats it.
I remember saturda afternoons and saturday night was the time for horror movies on tv,, now its all bs.
And late night is dominated by info mercials over and over again ( who watches those? they need psychiatric help).
Nope,, give me my dvd and a bag of popcorn is im going to watch anything. Otherwise throw me the new Warhamer 40k novel and im happy.
I keep my standards low.
That way im never disapointed.

Actually, NCIS is a spinoff of JAG.

I want them to bring back Saturday night Kung Fu Theatre.  :'(

I like the original CSI,my fave season is season 7,there are lots of sub plots.
  The main story throughout the whole season is the minature killer,who makes scale models of the crime scenes,body,blood the lot.
  Had me enthralled.

I like Dr Who alot.
I cant wait for the new season. Too bad David Tennant is being rplaced, but his contract isnt really up till 2013, so he may be back.
Tennant is the best since Tom Baker.
I keep my standards low.
That way im never disapointed.

David Tennant is a close second in my book.
Peter Davidson should have stuck with his original gig in Upstairs Downstairs. ( If I remember right)
