Writer's Strike Hell!

Okay, okay, I am addicted to television. I admit it. And what's more I'm not interested in changing. I think that television is one of the great gifts in life and that it is with out a doubt the single greatest tool for change and enlightenment in the history of mankind. So back away from my remote AND give me back my writers.

Look, I think I have great taste in television, but I'll be honest if there isn't something great on, I'll watch things that aren't so great. And if there is nothing that isn't even not so great on--I'll watch Charles in Charge. Don't bother being shocked and appalled I already said that I am addicted to television. I'm like an alcoholic that prefers a nice black label scotch but who will drink rot gut wine if neccessary. With the writer's strike I am now at the television equivalent of drinking my perfume in hopes of catching a buzz.

I watched Miss America Reality Check last week. And I loved it! By the way Miss Alaska was ROBBED! Don't even get me started! And speaking of which, why was Project Runway a rerun this week? Do the people over at Bravo not understand that there is a REAL emergency going on and we need for the shows that don't require union writers to pick up the slack? Come on people, who is sleeping at the switch?

And let's talk about David Letterman. Please don't get me wrong. I LOVE David Letterman. In fact, my husband and I have an understanding that David Letterman is the one man I am allowed to continue fantasizing about romantically other than my husband. And I love that Dave showed what a STUD he is by standing up and doing what was right. Seriously, it was right up there with him calling Bill O'Reilly an idiot to his face. You have to give Dave credit, the man has serious cahonage. So it pains me to say - What is up with the lame writing on his show since he's been back? It is the saddest thing I have ever seen. Seriously, Dave, fire the whole lot of free loaders, I hear there's lots of talent looking for union work. My God, with the complete glut of anything interesting and all of that time off, you'd think that the show could manage to be pee your pants, I can't breath funny at least once per show! Instead Letterman is getting nuisance calls from the California State Highway Patrol - has the world gone mad?

Alright, I have to go - Scott Baio is 46 and Pregnant is coming on - and since Charles in Charge isn't on, it'll have to do. Sigh.
