Well the latest is this: http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/TV/01/04/hollywoodlabor.ap/index.html Apparently Jay Leno wrote some "jokes" for his monolgue. Now lets be honest, can they really be called jokes. I think the WGA may be going a little far on this, just because he didn't grow a strike beard doesn't mean he doesn't support them...or does it.
Speaking of the strike beard, Conan pulls it off, Dave looks a little old with it. I'll be interested to see if John Stewart and Colbert come back with one on Monday.
The other interesting tidbit is about the SGA voting to not attend the Golden Globes aka The Bruce Valanich show, on the 13th. For some reason NBC is still going forward with them, I can't see why. Remember when the Golden Globes weren't that big, like 10 years ago, and were only on TNT and lasted two hours and everyone just got drunk. Those were the days. Remember when Ving Rhames won best actor in a TV movie and made Jack Lemmon come up and take it.

Welcome
Welcome! This writers strike has now entered its second month. Really it hasn't affected me until now, since many of my favorite shows still had some new episodes until recently. Since I have not been asked to broker an agreement between the writer's guild and producers I have come to the solution that I can't watch one more game show or reality show. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Now I'm not talking "Reading a book" desperate but I need to go back in time in TV and maybe even across the pond. Now I love TV, always have, always will. It's been a good friend. Face it, garden slugs have gotten more out of life then I have.
So what am I doing, with my Netflix and great local video store, Media Wave, I will be having theme weeks, some of the themes being considered. Sitcoms of the 80's or Classic Cop Dramas. I've never seen Hill Street Blues or the Bob Newhart Show, and now is the perfect time to start.
I will chronicle my TV watching and will be looking for recommendations on what to watch. I will also try to keep you updated on the latest writer's strike news and late night wars.
Cheers!
