im not sure if you have heard or not but we as a nation might be on the verge of complete network shutdown!
ok maybe thats a little extreme but really it could get bad.
the screen writing guild starts its strike monday at 12:01am, this could spell trouble in a large way.
"The 1988 writers strike lasted 22 weeks. It was catastrophic: It cost the industry an estimated $500 million and the broadcast networks saw a 9 to 10 percent drop in their audience as viewers switched over to cable. Industry insiders predict the effects of a strike now could be just as bad."
this would go across all networks and hit all prime time shows, heroes, the office, house, etc.

Oh my goodness!! It's TV. Go outside! Get a hobby. And ps you pasted the quote twice.
your sister
there i fixed it. and its not only tv its movies too. and i heard the actors guild might strike in a few months.
i do go outside. but when i watch tv its dark and cold so :P
Okay Okay so I realize that it is perfectly okay to watch TV. You know that we don't watch TV (except for Heroes and Men in Trees) so yes I am a little frustrated that those might be delayed. But when they get it worked out they will begin again. So more power to them. However, aren't actors paid really well???? I have to say that they probably make more than I do as a teacher. And they change and shape the world so much...Hey maybe I should go on a personal strike...I am sure that people would be blogging their concern if a teacher decided they didn't make enough!!!:P
Your sister!
