Well, I guess Nick@Nite's not worried, all they've done is re-runs from night one.

I don't watch hardly anything live... if it ends up looking good I usually go back & watch it. So it won't affect me much directly.
But I shudder at the thought of ANYTHING that would encourage more reality TV. Please!!! Have mercy!!! |

The shows I'm most wondering about are:

I think this line's mostly filler.

The "Heroes Origins" hiatus miniseries has been put on hold.
Too bad. I thought it was a cool experiment in eliminating rerun hell.

During the 2004-5 NHL hockey lockout, ESPN looked for other things to broadcast. They decided to show the World Series of Poker. Thus began a whole new form of entertainment and a whole new industry.
People found other things to be interested in. Hockey is still trying to recover. ESPN gave up its hockey contract and the NHL is now broadast on Versus. What? I don't even know if i GET Versus. What will replace written TV? If this lasts any length of time, the people will find alternatives. The last time the writers went on strike there was no public Internet. Hmmm. |

Well, Clod gave me the impression that the strike started 8 days ago, but according to Conan, it will start Monday unless (as Conan hopes) its resolved over the weekend.

Cuz you started this thread on the 1st, and since you gave no indication that the strike didn't start that day, I just figured that it started right after the deadline you mentioned.

<SIGH> Yer right. I just reviewed the date. I've just had so much going on lately, I got FUBAR, and somehow my brain went back in time.

Leno still lives on the money he makes doing standup, around the country, much of the year. I think his cars get most of the TV money.

Good thing I have a lot of DVDs I haven't broken the plastic on yet ...
I remember surviving the last writers' and actors' strike. And that was before "reality TV" AND the internet. I don't watch any of the nighttime talk guys anyway. Actually, because of my bizarre schedule, I don't watch much broadcast TV at all. I once would have been devastated by something like this, but that was a whole other lifetime ago.
