Can't we all get along?

I bet you were thinking this post was going to be about world peace or something. Sorry to disappoint all these hippies out there. But....

Ever since that judge decided I was unfit to even see my daughters (he still thinks they deserve my money though) I have been spending more time distracting my brain with mindless television. Well no more. It looks as if this writer's strike is in it for the long hall. Most shows have 3-5 episodes left already filmed and they will have to go into reruns, or god-forbid start airing more reality TV.

Colbert Report, Daily Show, The Tonight Show, and The Late Show have not had a new episode since the strike. Can't these hosts write their own jokes and interview questions? I guess not.

This week is going to be the last episode of The Office because Steve Carrell (not in the writer's guild) refuses to cross the picket line to film new episodes. I was watching Heroes last night and they actually said that the season finale was in 3 weeks. What? Its only November, and its the season finale? Nice 8 episode season guys. O also read that the new season of 24 was on hold indefinitely and probably will not air now until January 2009 (will Earth even exist then?). Now they may also cancel Lost until 2009 as well. Whats going on people? Can't you found a bunch of monkeys to sit down and write these scripts? Couldn't some of the Network Big-Wigs (i.e. Millionaires) to dip slightly into their pockets and actually pay these writers, the ones making all this money for them. As funny as these shows are, the actors are only as funny as the writers.

If I were an actor or Network producer I would be embarrassed that my whole company is crumbling because our lowest employees who sit in a dark room in the basement smoking pot and drinking coffee are on strike, and we can't run our business any more without them. Its almost as if Snow.man went on strike from getting coffee for Jake and the whole company came to a halt and they couldn't find any one else to get coffee.
