I like dramedies: Gilmore Girls and Grey's Anatomy. Comedies: Psych and Scrubs. And procedural dramas: CSI and Numb3rs (mainly because I watch them film frequently while at work).
I'm a fantasy geek. My favorite such authors are David Eddings, Melanie Rawn, George R.R. Martin and some Orson Scott Card. I read a lot of plays. I also read authors that fit into neither aforementioned catagories. Like Chuck Palahniuk.
