Hey, the WGA strike is over
They're saying new episodes of a lot of sitcoms and dramas won't be on the air until April. It'll be interesting to see what the ratings are like. I can't speak for anybody else -- who would want me to? -- but I've gotten used to not watching TV. Lost. And of course Good Eats. That's pretty much it. I don't really miss it. It's not like in 1988, the last time there was a strike like this. We have a lot more options. You're still pretty, Television, but can you show me any music video I can think of, the minute I think of it? Can you play me a whole season of my favorite show and let me pause you to go take a leak? Can you let me download one of hundreds of thousands of books wirelessly on a handheld reading device? You cannot.
Then again, every week millions of people still watch Pick a Briefcase, Stupid, so what the hell do I know.
