This Won’t Hurt A Bit

by

That’s a classic Dr. line isn’t it and if I didn’t know better I would think that’s what being told to the fans whose shows are all going to be in the hurt from the Writer’s Strike. Unfortunately even if it is what fans are being fed, we still know it’s going to hurt… a lot.

I hope you all liked “300 Patients” because it’s the last one you are going to be seeing until 2008. I mentioned in my last post that there had been 13 shows produced out of the 22 that we normally get right? Ok well, guess what number we are on? (This shows how much you all pay attention)

We just saw episode number 10. Episode 11 will not air until January 3rd (a good day btw because all the kids go back to school from Christmas break and my 3rd born will be seven - Go Shorty!), but that isn’t the point. This means that after the first new episode of the new year, we only have three remaining, unless of course the writer’s strike ends. I foresee a lot of movie rentals coming my way soon because ER isn’t the only show which stands to run out of episodes soon. In fact some have it even worse.

My other Dr. obsession, Grey’s Anatomy only has one episode left and it won’t air until sometime in 2008. Another ABC favorite of mine, Desperate Housewives is hanging on with one show left as well. (I must watch – it’s the 2nd part of the Tornado episode).

So bundle up everyone, it’s going to be a very cold and lonely winter for us if the strike doesn’t end soon. I don’t know how long I will be able to last watching the repeats and awful reality tv (sorry to all you reality tv fans out there)… Maybe it’s time to rethink that Netflix subscription huh?
