Immediate Impact Of Writers Strike
Networks may have enough scripted prime-time series in the can to get through the end of the year, but the impact will be seen immediately today. Letterman, Leno, Conan, Kimmel, Colbert and The Daily Show all will be repeats tonight. Letterman, The Daily Show and Colbert will be dark all week. Ellen DeGeneres' daytime show also didn't tape today.
So which late-night show will you miss the most, if the strike goes on for a long time? (The 1988 strike went 22 weeks, longer than five months.) And tell me how/if your viewing habits change because of the strike. I want to hear how the strike impacts you.

Post a Comment*I've already started downloading old shows I missed the first time around and stockpiling them on a hard drive, ready to move to the TiVo when new episodes dry up. I'm looking forward to trying out Weeds, Dexter and Damages to name a few.
What a great opportunity to clean out the reservoir of recorded-but-not-watched shows on the DVR.
It'll be like Tivo on Jenny Craig.
Looks like more Law & Order reruns on TNT and CSI reruns on Spike for me! I may also dust off my Knight Rider: Season One DVD set.
I'll catch up on the dvr stuff and then dive into the stack of books on my nightstand. Or maybe just watch more On Demand...
I suppose no one cares but I, but last night's episode of Brothers & Sisters had a line that made me laugh. Robert (Rob Lowe), who is running for U.S. President, said he was attending a pep rally in Cincinnati this week.
Do the folks in Indian Hill who regularly play host when the President visits know about this?!
Off topic, but John: could you make mention of when the Cincinnati episodes of "The First 48" are on? I'm more likely to read your blog than to pick up TVGuide.
I'll miss watching new Craig Ferguson shows. I guess that means I will be going to bed earlier.
No kidding my DVR is backing up as well... There's always Blockbuster.
Maybe Letterman can bring back the his "network time killer" segment?
Hey Kies, a friend of mine is in line RIGHT NOW to get into the Ellen taping for today, Tuesday. Why would she not tape yesterday but yes tape today??
As long as there are full episodes for me to catch up posted online, I will be OK, I just started watching 30Rock and have miles to go before I sleep.
