There Is a Writer's Strike? Go Figure!
Monday, December 24, 2007

Where have I been?

According to the New York Times, December 24, 2007:

...striking screenwriters keep late-night talk shows in reruns...

And this lovely gem:

... the Writers Guild of America strike, now entering its seventh week, shuttered every late-night show...

Damn, I never noticed that there was a strike! (Yes, I'm exaggerating.)

You telling me there are re-runs on now? Wow.

You telling me that all those TV talk shows were scripted? Blow me away with a feather.

The thing is - I don't own a television. I gave up watching television years ago.

I get my entertainment from the following online sources:
• Netflix - DVDs & on-demand,
• Joost,
• CBS,
• Fox,
• ABC,
• NBC,
• ABCFamily,
• AOL,
• and iTunes.
• Plus many more websites to be discovered.
• Last, but not least, YouTube.

The beauty of on-demand is that I can watch an entire season after it has ended. I can watch these programs whenever I want.

I mean, who sits around and watches television these days?

I support the writer's strike! Guys and gals, stay out as long as you like.

I don't think anyone is paying attention.
