I know someone who still, to this day, does not have a television in his home. He is married, and has a son, and I hardly speak to them at great length, but that is one fact about him through all the 17 years that I have known him that is still true.

I can't imagine being that person.

There are thousands of people in the television industry that come together to produce these shows that we rant and rave about week after week. And I have a life - a busy one - that doesn't afford me a lot of opportunity to view a lot of new programming. I have had favorites since I was young - T.J.Hooker (shut up), Scarecrow & Mrs. King, Facts of Life, Friends, Will & Grace, Family Ties, ALIAS, and some others. With each one of these shows, I found myself investing so much energy and emotion. It is truly a spectacle and amazing thing that TV produces. The newest show to this list is Moonlight. My personal investment in this show is so captivating and contagious that I find myself wishing on Saturday morning that it was already Friday night again. There are times that I shake my head in dismay that I am so caught up in these fictional characters, but that is a testimony to the great work done by the writers and actors. Just like any other fantastic pop culture phenomenon, this show has gripped my love for the supernatural - the forbidden love - the question "What if they really exist?"

After shaking my head, and after being initially angered by the ending of the latest installment of my latest obsession, I giggle at the fact that I LOVE feeling this way - and my hat goes off to all the talented people who got me in this emotional WRECK.

Television is any amazing thing....
