I prefer Temperance Brennan in the TV series "Bones" rather than her portrayal by author Kathy Reichs.
"Dexter" was a great example of good book, good TV.
The Tuesday Tribune A&E section says "Television is the new Novel" referring specifically to blockbusters like The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and The Big C. Do we book lovers agree?
I miss the calendar for the entire month. It gave the shows schedule for different days. Will you bring it back?
