I'm the 'Scandal'-'Nashville' kind of TV watcher.
I usually tell people I watch like '24' and 'Prison Break.'
With the crime novels, it's delightful to have protagonists I can revisit in book after book. It's like having a fictitious family.
I very much enjoy things like '24,' although I suspect that's run its course.
That's the problem with soaps, of course. The stories never end. They can go on and on and on.
I'm going to name a name: Janet Evanovich. She writes the same book over and over, and I read every single one of them and eagerly anticipate them.
In junior high, when we got our first VCR, I used to tape four soaps a day. I was a diehard 'General Hospital' fan from when I was nine to 25.
I watched a lot of soap operas, when I was growing up, and a lot of those great serialized soap dramas.
