The Writers Guild of America has asked it’s members to ratify the new contract deal and END THE STRIKE. After three months of “Deal or No Deal” (which I was starting to like) the light at the end of the tunnel is visible. “The Office”, “Scrubs”, and possibly a full 16 episode season of “Lost” (as opposed to the 8 episode heart attack version we were supposed to receive this spring) are in our nearish future.
The news of the strike ending has conjured the question of how we pop-culture enthusiasts survived the decay of thoughtful television and the rise of “people doing stupid shit fo’ real” (see the new American Gladiators). I have personally been watching a preponderance of material “on the online”, such as full seasons of “Curb your Enthusiasm”, “Lost” and various other shows that I have longed after for some time now. Others may have lost themselves into the abyss of “Celebreality” that Video Hits One can crank out even faster without writers. Being reeled in by the question of which gross-ass ninja-turtle-ass fake-ass “hussy” has never been my cup of tea (I’m lying, how can I quote Chance from “I Love New York” without watching it, damn), but it is understandable why we would subject ourselves to this in times of famine.
