I’m late! I finished my book last night which is a huge relief! But now I’m trying to catch up and clear off a pile of stuff on my desk. It’s just one of those days…
Let’s talk about something fun. Anyone else watch Grey’s Anatomy? I just became a fan over the summer and now I am hooked! And of course, I’ve been following the Will-Meredith-live-or-become-a-dead-narrator saga. I won’t reveal the outcome in cases some of you haven’t seen it yet.
There was a scene last night that caught my attention. It was Derrick’s ex-wife, Addison watching Derrick with Meredith, and said, “He never loved me like that.” And I was right there with her, feeling her sadness, and feeling the love that Derrick has for Meredith.
And I got to thinking, it seems rare that TV shows are able to really show love like a romance novel. I watched a made for TV Movie of Nora Robert’s book ANGELS FALL. It was okay, but I’m sure the book was better. I haven’t read that book—I’m more of a JD Robb fan, and I LOVE Roarke!
I could write a whole blog just on Roarke and why I think he should dump Eve for me!
But back to my point, I know TV has limitations compared to books where e can use descriptions and reveals characters inner thoughts. But Grey’s Anatomy works really well within the TV format.
What about you? What TV shows or movies do you think do a good job making the viewers feel the romance?

I’m hooked on Men In Trees along with Grey’s Anatomy.
I am not a TV watcher, so for me it is the books……
I would choose a book over televison anytime. I don’t normally watch to much evening t.v. I usually try to write or read once the kids have gone to bed. I also watched Angels Fall and was not impressed. I love Nora’s books and am not a fan of the J.D. Robb books. It is very rare that a great book can become a great movie.
Angel and Buffy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer
I enjoy both but the book is always better than the movie. I watch Grey’s on Friday because I watch CSI on Thursday BUT LAST WEEK IT WASN’T ON. They put two Grey repeats on!!!! WHY!!! I’m going to guess she lives but I hope to watch it tonight.
Susan, I’m going to have to try Men in Trees again, I keep hearing good things about it.
Cryna, I would usually chose a book over TV, but when I’m really tired, TV helps me unwind.
Pam, I’m always amazed at how some people love Nora and others JD Robb–it just shows how talented Nora is!
Maria, I’ve only watched a few Buffy (husband is not a paranormal fan!) but I see what you mean.
catslady, you’ll have to watch it to find out!
I cant believe I fell asleep during the last 15mins of Grey’s - but my co-worker filled me in on what I missed.
I woke up 3 mins after 10 just in time to see most of the Clooney/Roberts interview.
