TV is the New Reading - Jul 11 2009 - Reality TV makes way for fresh programming

"TV is the New Reading" is the weekly podcast by Terry J. Aman, features editor, The Minot Daily News. As several shows trudge toward their finales -- among them, "The Chopping Block," "Kings," "Eli Stone," "Harpers Island" and "The Fashion Show," others appear on deck such as "Drop Dead Diva," "Leverage," "Dark Blue," "Warehouse 13" and "Eureka." For more information, check out my blog at www.minotdailynews.com.

Also, a shout-out to the Capitol Shakespeare production of "The Merchant of Venice" the weekend of July 22-26 on the Capitol grounds in Bismarck. Also, the cast features fair-use clips from Sheryl Crow's "If It Makes You Happy" and the movie "Mannequin."
