The Strike... say hello to the television drought and give love to the writers

There is officially nothing on television... Hahaha... *hides tears* lol.  The strike is finally taking hits on my personal faves. I love the writers. They're my heroes. They deserve all and beyond what they are asking for in residuals. 30 rock is holding me together (The amazing Tina Fey picketing to the left) but I miss the office, and filler grey's anatomy repeats depress me. Yes I get it, George and Izzie are in love with each other (cue the conflicting swoon and gag) All I gots now is my lover Lost which we have to wait in till FEBRUARY for. I guess I should be thankful, I don't know how I handled this hiatus back in May. I'm really looking forward to it coming back, and yes, don't hit me, I've been reading all the spoilers I can get my little fan girl hands on. Oh, how I cower in shame. lol

I went out to the picket lines a few weeks ago, dragged a couple of my friends. Seeing the writers was so amazing, it was such an inspirational serge of adrenaline. You can really tell how passionate they all are about their work and how much they believe in the strike. They were so kind and thankful to us fans for coming out and supporting them I just wanted to hug them all! I saw a guy from derrick comedy who is HILARIOUS. Check out their videos (http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=derrickcomedy) We also saw David Duchovny from X-Files and more recent Californation fame and Seth Myers and Fred Armisen from SNL. There was also a bunch of people from Law and Order, Roseanne Barr and Susie Essman of Curb your Enthusiasm. These writers are frankly the core of today’s culture. They are a huge part of my generation and all that we'll become.

And so, though this strike may pain us lets all support writers. And though we may all end up hospitalized due to over exposer of reality television, lets all us fans get behind them. Lets get them all that they deserve. You can write letters to the studio suits. Here is a great site where you can easily do so for any of your fave shows http://firedoglake.com/wga/index.php/write/compose/sent.
