Writer's Strike & TV Withdrawal

So how about that writers strike? You know the reason why our favorite shows are currently in re-runs and why late night TV has this distinctive feeling of deja vu. Writers of the Daily Show created a special educational video on YouTube explaining their position Not The Daily Show, With Some Writer. You know what, I get it that the writers just want to get paid. I mean seriously, I can relate.

I'm giving them bonus points for altering Shakespeare's Richard III opening line to read, "Winter of our Dissed Content." Now that's just funny-smart at its finest.

But can't we all just get along? Why not give the writers a tiny percentage off ad sales? Who would that hurt, exactly? If you're like me suffering from withdrawal of your favorite shows (Moonlight, Chuck, Grey's etc.) then at least there is Netflix to rent great DVD's that are worthwhile . But why, oh, why do the talks keep "breaking down." And what does that mean, exactly?

Well, anyway if you really need mindless stimulation there is always: Smartest Yorkie Puppy Ever!
Or you know, TMZ.

The Grey's is the WORST. I started renting old seasons on DVD to help with the withdrawals.
