Syfy.com is the new face that the popular science fiction and B movie Bonanza cable offering that hit the big time with several shows including the now very popular Eureka, which airs on fridays at 9 8 Central.

These Tv shows are popular in fact they are so popular that there have been several spin off programs that have been created each with different types of content, many of the actual professional CSI technicians criticize these shows as being too easy of course when you have less than 45 min of programming time to work with minus the commercials you have to do something a little different.

The original show was good in fact, it was so good they made three more shows from that one, but only one of them really did well CSI Miami, and CSI new york, of those two you can get a different opinion about each, of course the lead Gary Sinise takes the cake hands down, against the lead for Miami, whom some say tends to pull his punches a little too much.

Either way the show is certainly popular and is sure to please the scientist at least most of the time, I have seen some of these shows that seem to just take the plot too far and some that dont go far enough, of course a good writer can make these things work better and a less talented writer well you know how that usually ends up.

The graphic nature of some of the shows sort of turns off the younger crowd mostly girls, however the technical schools are filled with would be CSI students, and there is no end in sight to the commercials you see on TV about becoming a CSI investigator.

The real life work is rarely as simple and easy as they show on TV and the music is definitely never as good.

However they do a good job at times of showing exactly how frustrating it can be dealing with suspects that dont want to get caught.

Criminal law is rarely portrayed in the correct manner, usually they show a pro prosecution standpoint, which is only one side of the story, the defense side of the story is rarely told, but again they do not have as much time as it would take to do the job right.

Production is a mess on these shows, with special effects taking a lot of budget potential and music also being a large part of the budget, often you might wonder if they are doing the right thing.

Entertainment is the way of these shows and that is something they do well.

There is rarely just one way to learn however, reading has long been the best way to learn. Learning by reading or by visual interoperation is the best method for retaining information.

With all the influence the media has on television and cable viewers one might incorrectly jump to the conclusion that reading is a by gone habit that is no longer as popular as it once was however, that may not be the truth at all considering that most college and university settings still use the written word over all other methods of interaction with students.

So for all the naysayers that think reading is a thing of the past, take a good solid look at Amazon.com and also take a good look at their sales figures, they sell a lot of stuff and reading is just one small part of the whole.

Read a book, learn a little more than you thought you knew and you will find that you have improved your life in the small amount of time it takes to read just this article you will have improved your hand to eye coordination and your comprehension, with all the recent hype that we see on the cable shows, you can get everything you want and know every news story in less than 15 minuets.

The next time you get ready to turn on the TV, grab a book instead…
