If the writer's strike ends, we can finally get all the high quality programs we had before the strike. Sarcasm detector beeping.

Careful now, subby. I've got carebear porn, and I'm not afraid to post it.

That said, I don't particularly care about recent television, but sort of support the writers, so whatever works out. Meh.

 
logruszed 2008-02-02 08:40:23 PM  
I'm just getting sick of the endless references to it on The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.

Seriouly using the same jokes over and over again, beating them to death. It's like there was no strike in the first place.

If you followed your favorite writers from project to project instead of big name actors or producers you would have a much better time.

Writers are amazingly underrated.

Yep, they tried to tie up as many loose ends as they could. As I understand, they shot two versions because they weren't sure about the show's fate until pretty close to the wire... the one they aired, and one that was more of a teaser in case it got picked up.

The reason TV sucks isn't because the writers suck, but because the studios insist that the writers turn out bland dross with the depth of a spoon.

The strike really has made US TV suck at whole new levels. I'm pretty close to canceling the cable because aside from Mythbusters and BBC-TV there's not a lot of anything here, so WTF am I paying for?

Heroes, The Office, let's not forget BSG. I'm dying here!!

Oh get off your farking high horses, dip shiat. I have shows that I love to watch, but I'm still close with my family, and I still have a life.
And its REALITY shows that render your brain useless. and there have been MORE of them since the writers strike.

Not all programming is mind-numbing drivel. The Office is genious, and was Journeyman. HEROES anyone?

You'd be happier if you knew the glory of The Office (ahem.. the "oriface".. thats what she said).

I feel sorry for you.

Yes, things like the History channel, Discovery, and CNN are most definitely for dumb people. No one who's smart owns a TV.

Please, enlighten us with more of your 1950s "The TV is teh debil box" thinking. Do you hate Rock n Roll too?

I'm sure the writers were irked that no one really paid attention to their plight - especially the Democrats, who usually love to drop in on unions when they struggle against the man.

Hollywood is so out of phase with America that most people didn't even know there was a strike.

Modern Marvels:Earth Movers, Big Machines...etc. American Eats. Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, Smash Lab. None of these support your case.

I'm with you about 24. For some reason, I thought that they had filmed a few for this season already, but then I remembered how long Kiefer was in jail. Guess they've probably got nothin' right now.

Okay, they aren't all gems. I would have said Court TV before they changed over to real tv or whatever nonsense it is now.

Arthur Jumbles [TotalFark] 2008-02-02 08:57:57 PM  
If the writers were smart I suspect that they would have been working on script this entire time so that they could come back running. However, given the few writers I know they've likely spent most of the strike on hookers and blow.

/Not that there's anything wrong with that.

screw the writers. after un-plugging from television for a while, I do not miss any of their recycled, mundane, completely unoriginal and bland premises. I'm sick of their whining. They can all go to hell (especially jj abrams.

 
bulletswithmypen 2008-02-02 09:05:13 PM  
Joining everyone in rejoicing the possible return of the following:

The Office
Heroes (they can make up for how much the beginning of the 2nd season sucked)
House
Family Guy (I don't care how unoriginal I am, I like it)
