Miss TV Guide enters the building

After another trip to Florida with my parents before I started highschool, I decided I would learn English. I knew that English classes wouldn't be enough so I decided to watch English TV (with English captions on) and only that. This made me catch the TV bug and learn most of my English. This also had my highschool friends and peers nickname me Miss TV Guide since I watched so many hours of TV I could tell them what show aired when and what happened ("talent" they liked and used because one of our English teachers asked we watched 30 minutes of English TV per week and take notes on what happened... of course, I was the "notes" provider!).

On page 26 of my highschool year book, you can read that my "favorite sport" is "watching TV." The paragraph next to my picture also mentions "If you need information about a TV series, go see her. She knows the TV Guide by heart!" This is something my friends still say about me!

When the Internet made its way to my home, I was introduced to the world of spoilers (information about upcoming episodes), boards, websites devoted to TV series, and websites devoted to TV news. Since then, I've made my way in the TV world and worked for many websites.

Nowadays, I'm trying to concentrate my Internet time to various TV sites including AOL's TV Squad where I blog about various TV series and news. I still do TV web work under an alias, and since I want anonymity there, I'll keep it the alias to myself (those of you reading who know it, please don't say it...).

I'm starting this blog today because I want to openly share my passion for TV. I've been blogging under an alias but I've grown tired of it.

I present to you the "Miss TV Guide" blog where I'll dish and give my two cents about various TV series, give random TV news, etc. I hope you enjoy it!
