| Writers Strike
Anyone else missing some of their favorite shows do to this writers strike thing. Conan, Colbert, and Jon Stewart reruns are already getting old. I'm gonna be glad when they comeback but they said it could be moths because the want it to affect the sitcoms too.

| supposedly the Office's last show is this week. I hate what has become of current TV. Every show could be a rerun and unless it airs on the Discovery Channel, I would have no idea. |

| I would probably be just as satisfied if the networks would start running Cheers, Seinfeld and Coach all from season one. Throw in a little Northern Exposure, and I have another few years of TV to look forward to. | |

| It can go on for years for all I care. I get my fix on sports and cartoons(reruns are fine). Other than that I don't watch much TV. | |

I'm with Rex. As long as he keeps M*A*S*H with the old shows. New TV is just plain bad. | |

EDIT. Good to see I'm not the only one who enjoys Coach. Dauber and Luther were hilarious.

| Coach was my show back in the day. Monday nights right before Monday Night Football on ABC.
Jumped the shark when he went to the Orlando Breakers, but still had some solid shows. | |

| So Conan, Colbert and Jon Stewart aren't funny unless they're reading someone else's material?
I know that's how it always works in Hollywood, but doesn't that say something about the talent in front of the camera?
Is Colbert just another dork from South Carolina? Conan just another obnoxious red haired geek? Stewart your typical first class a**hole?
Probably so. So whatever the writers are striking for, I hope they get it since they are the ones who are actually entertaining.
