I was listening to the radio this morning on the way to work and Brook Shields was talking to Valentine (I know, my radio station selection sucks, but in my defense, I had just switched over from Mike and Mike where they were talking about college football and I am still sad about JoePaw losing and not having the chance to retire with a championship) about the failing television ratings for Lipstick Jungle and other shows. She was complaining (but in a nice way) that so many people TIVO/DVR and so few people watch live TV. I'm a big Tivo junkie. In fact, we start watching shows 15 minutes into them so that we can fastforward through the commercials in the event that we watch a show live (which is rare). Anyway, the point is that TV shows are going to have to do more product placement in order to survive.

Many of the shows that I follow I watch via the Internet. It allows me to schedule TV watching during the time that is most convenient for me (usually on Saturday evenings when I am sewing).
In an effort to gain more revenue and attract a different, perhaps broader audience, MGM is going to be placing full length ad supported movies on YouTube. I like this idea a great deal even though the initial offerings such as the Magnificent Seven really don't float my boat.
Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. She's currently loving contemporary authors like Sarah Mayberry and Kristan Higgins but her first love will always be the historical. Some of her old time favorites are Amanda Quick and Johanna Lindsey and some of the new favorites are Sherry Thomas, Joanna Bourne and Claudia Dain.

We don’t like to censor comments nor do we endorse the comments of any poster. We do reserve the right to moderate comments but most of the time will not, believing, as Justice Brandeis did, that the greater good is in “more speech, not enforced silence.”
Meh. My public library started carrying DVDs last year. I don’t even watch movies on the ‘Net anymore. The library has saved me so much money because I only fork over $$ for movies I really want to own.
