It's been really nice not trying to keep up with the TV schedule. I don't so much (I just record everything and watch it whenever I have time) but my girlfriend always made it a point to keep up with the new episodes on during the week. Because of the writer's strike, we've finally done many of the household tasks that were sitting waiting to be done, spent more time together, I've spent more time reading... it's nice actually. Lots of people I know say the same thing. Who knows, maybe it'll have some long term beneficial effects. Although in all probability, once the shows come back on, people will just go right back to their TV's and forget all about that annoying time in 2007-2008 when they actually popped their head out of the crapfest that is American TV....

It seems that no matter what time I turn on the TV in the US, there's at least two channels selling exercise equipment, and one showing an episode of Jag.

I was just about to say that! About a month ago, I was laid up in the hospital with pneumonia for about 12 days. The good news is that their television system had a decent variety of cable channels (including Sci-Fi, which shocked me). The bad news is that one can tolerate only so much "Law & Order" and "CSI" (of all varieties) before wishing the nurses would inject cyanide into my IV drip... and I normally like these shows. X|

I beg to differ... If politics werent so boring, TV wouldnt seem so good. On the other hand, not many people would know about just how boring politics are if there was no TV... I think they worked together on this one lol
