Strike!

Well, the writer's strike in Hollywood is in full swing now. Daily talk shows are showing reruns, movies in production have been postponed, and by January tv will turn to reality shows. I think this is a sad time for Hollywood and for the viewers.

I love television! I have my shows that I watch religiously. I understand the arguements that are going on at the moment and I support the writers. However, what am I supposed to do come January when shows like The Office and Pushing Daisies are replaced with crap like Marry My Mom or Eat As Many Gross Things As You Can? My tv will be off until my shows come back, I guess.

I hate reality television for the reason that there is nothing to it. It's absurd! Shows like The Bachelor, The Biggest Loser, Beauty and the Geek, and various others are ridiculous. It's a load of people's 15 minutes of fame. I avoid all MTV reality shows which are even more ridiculous than the ones already listed. Even a huge favorite, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition borders on ridiculous!

I end this post with a plea: Hollywood, please make peace!
