Fortunately for me, my favorite shows are unaffected: So You Think You Can Dance, Are you Smarter Than a 5th Grader?, and The Biggest Loser.

Yea, you're lucky. Ellen and Ugly Betty are in reruns.

That it affects traffic is reason to be annoyed. Teach them a lesson and run over a few. It's not like anyone in Hollywood is a real person, so it would be akin to running over a rat.

Interesting. I have done that before to the homeless, but never to the unionized.....

I will let you know how it goes.

It would be cool to mix in a paparazzo while I am there, too. Kind of kill 2 birds with one stone...

I look forward to the report. Could I request that you find the group that writes for ER and take them out?

24 isn't going into re-runs...it's just being put on indefinite hiatus and won't be debuting in Mid January like they had planned.

As of now they only have 8 episodes in the can for the upcoming season and part of what they like to do is run all 24 episodes every week back to back...and so for that reason it won't be debuting on the date they had originally planned...unless the strike gets resolved quickly.

As of this week, neither side is even talking today. The city has offered both sides neutral office space to meet and negotiate downtown, but reps from both sides have declined. This will likely go at least 3 or so weeks, minimum. They havent even begun talking yet.

The worst thing about this is a load of new reality TV is now going into pre-production to fill time slots in December. Ugh.
