I've been avoiding this...but...

Alright...so as much as I didn't really ever want to talk about it, I guess I just can't help it any more.

What am I referring to? The writers strike in Hollywood. Here's the deal, I don't watch a whole lot of television, I have it on a lot, but I'm usually doing something else and I have a few shows that I really like to watch and don't want to miss.

2 of those shows would be "The Office" and "Lost". Now...right now "The Office" is well into it's newest season and it's pretty good so far. However, I ran across an article yesterday that delivered some bad news...until the strike is over, the episode of "The Office" that will air this Thursday, tomorrow...is the last one they have done. Great! Now I can get outside and do all those fun yard work things I've been putting off! Wait...that's not cool.

Then...in February...the new season of "Lost" starts up...well, they don't have all of the episode written...but they have 7 or 8 of them. Now here's how their going to handle it..."Lost" will air what they have done and apparently the last of the finished episodes will end on a cliffhanger. This will seem all to familiar, as it's what we experienced last season when they took a 2/3 month break over December/January/February time frame. The whole idea for starting it in February was to have a non-stop season...we'll see if that happens.

So anyway...there's my rant. Maybe we'll see a new era of television...7-8 episodes every couple of months, that way all year long we'll get new and fresh episodes! Well, I guess it's time to spend time with the family, pick up a new hobby, and get outside until this is all over...wait...maybe this strike will be the healthiest thing to ever hit the nation. Hmmm.
