writer’s strike

The writer’s strike hasn’t affected me. Until now. I don’t watch much prime time TV–just Thursday night comedies on NBC and the occasional episode of SNL–but I knew it would catch up with me eventually if it dragged on for very long.

I’ve been watching the repeats of the Thursday night NBC lineup. As much activity that we have around here on Thursdays (aka cub scout night), it generally takes me a few viewings of each episode before I get to hear all of the jokes. I checked TV Guide yesterday only to find out that tonight, they were playing a game show and a reality show in place of my beloved sitcoms! Oh, the horror. So, I’ve been sitting around tonight, drinking my rum and coke, and wondering what to do with myself.

Maybe it’s time to increase the frequency of my Blockbuster.com subscription…
