Blogging TV
Looks like the mainstream media is catching up to the fact that blogging is everywhere and blogging about TV shows, by fans and show executives alike, is becoming more and more common.
Think McSteamy will ever be back to face off with McDreamy on Grey’s Anatomy? Want to know more about what goes on behind the scenes of CSI: Miami or The Unit? Maybe you just can’t get enough of Dwight Schrute, The Office dork.

Official websites for television programs long have offered episode information, cast biographies and photo galleries, but the newest must-have accessory is a blog. While most blogs are opinions, thoughts or random comments similar to what’s found in a diary, newsletter or op-ed piece, TV show blogs range from factual to fictional to just plain funny.
On ABC’s Boston Legal, the blog is in the form of wacky Case Notes from lawyer Denny Crane (played by William Shatner). On NBC’s Medium, Allison Dubois’ husband, Joe, keeps a journal of her dreams. On CBS’ NCIS, Pauley blogs about anything going on that week; it is written by actress Pauley Perrette, who plays a goth scientist.
“It’s nice for shows to have connections with the fans. It makes you closer and more involved in the product you’re watching,” says Corey Miller, executive story editor and blogger for CSI: Miami.
In general, TV is a hot blogging topic. According to blog-tracking site Technorati.com, about 30,000 posts a day in the past month mention “TV.” Only about 2,000 a day have mentioned ”
George Bush.”
Haha, I guess McSteamy is more interesting than the President.
