Thank god! Heroes has been disappointing, Bionic Woman is laughably bad, Grey's Anatomyhas been underwhelming, but relatively enjoyable. Honestly, the most enjoyable show I have been watching are Damages (whose season is now complete) and ER which is consistently involving after all these days. Now that Survivor: China is going into the merge I may check that out for as many shirtless shots of African American muscle boy James as I can get, but besides that the TV season has been bleak.
That may be why the screenwriters guild has authorized a strike, which may happen very soon after the stroke of midnight on Halloween, Wednesday October 31. This will be the first Hollywood work stoppage since 1988 whivch lasted for 5 months and severelydamaged several televisions shows and resulted in a lot of "schlocky" movies being in theaters.
Stay tuned, because if the writers do strike, our bad television season will only get much much worse. Games shows and reality shows, all the time.

Just turn off the TV and your life will improve dramatically, except for the tennis channel of course! God, I gave up on tv years ago and sleep much better for it.
Just wish the cable and satellite companies understood that and allowed you to buy only what you want, not what they want to sell you.
Yes, the writer's strike will hit hard and fast unless settled. This must be settled asap as every coffee joint, restaurant and dry cleaners, etc. will be hurt - not just the writers, etc. on strike.
yes i agree with "carer"..abandon all hope of ever again having anything worthwhile on TV...i haven't watch
TV in over a year now, except for some pay TV movies..i think maybe
i've gotten a little smarter too,
now that my brain is away from the
"idiot box", it's not called an "idiot box" for nothing you know.. however i did read about some "new" shows coming up, which
i have previewed and posted, if you'd like to read about them..
