A quick message to TV and Movie execs: Go fug yourselves!!! Twice!

GIVE ME BACK MY DAMN SHOWS YOU GREEDY, CORPORATE SCUMBAGS, NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, it's only been two weeks into the strike of the Writer's Guild of America, and it's already taking a heavy toll on me. Three of my can't-miss-shows have completely closed up shop: The Colbert Report, Late Night with Conan O'brien and the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. The only show keeping me alive is House M.D. Fortunately, they keep whipping out new episodes, for now. I just hope the strike is resolved before Fox is forced to air reruns.

The situation looks dire, I'm clutching at straws here. If negotiations continue to fail, TV programming will be overrun with mindless reality shows. I can't be so desperate as having to watch vacuous drivel like The Hills or Survivor!

I'm in full support of the WGA. Let's level the playing field and give them more DVD profits or whatever realistic demand they so desire.

I miss you so much big guy!

This strike totally sucks. Tonight is the last new Office. I can only take so much reality television. Now what am I going to do? Read books? Have a life?

All this time I thought watching TV was having a life.

And reading books? What's the point now that Harry Potter is over?

miss staff said...

Maybe you are right. I'm in a book drought right now, nothing appeals to me. I actually started reading Gossip Girl. Yes, I'm that desperate.

I just finished I am Legend. Creepy stuff. I'm really interested to see how it will translate to the silver screen. Don't screw it up Will Smith!

What coincidence, I also started Gossip Girl. We should totally start a book club ;-)

miss staff said...

I want to see I am Legend. Looks interesting. Never figured you would be a Gossip Girl guy:)

Page2Peon said...

Hahaha. Gossip Girl Guy! If I could only change my Blogger user name....

miss staff said...

You would be Dan from the book. Well, maybe not in the later books.

Page2Peon said...

Is being Dan a good or bad thing?

miss staff said...

Good I guess. Dan is normal compared to the other douches in the book. He is kind of like the alternative rocker guy. You are not totally like him. I think he ends being gay in later books even though he is totally in love with one of the female characters. So maybe you're nothing like Dan. Nevermind.

LOL, I looked up his profile on Wikipedia.

A thin, sensitive, chain-smoking, caffeine-addicted poet who often sees the darker side to things and has said his favorite word is "death". Dan is a romantic whose imagination runs off wildly at the worst times. He over-analyzes and is easily frustrated. He is romantically linked to Vanessa Abrams, who appears to be the love of his life, but he hasn't always been the best boyfriend. Prior to his relationship with Vanessa, he spent two years being in love with Serena van der Woodsen. He has had several writing-related jobs, including a poem called "Sluts" published in the The New Yorker; an internship at Red Letter, a prominent literary magazine; and a short stint as songwriter/lead singer for indie-rock sensation The Raves. He has a very close relationship with his sister, Jenny and his father Rufus. His absentee mother returns in the final book, only because she believes that he is gay. Dan is attending The Evergreen State College in Washington State.

But no smoking or homosexuality for me thanks! If I decide to change my mind I'll let you know;-)

miss staff said...

In the tv show Dan doesn't smoke and he isn't gay. He is my favorite character.

Page2Peon said...

Oh jeez, a TV show too? I better jump on this bandwagon!

miss staff said...

Where have you been? Of course Gossip Girl is a show.

Page2Peon said...

It's on the CW, so no wonder why I haven't heard about it. That station is a barren wasteland.

miss staff said...

They got rid of Gilmore Girls :( Now the only show I watch is Gossip Girl and occasionally America's Next Top Model. The rest of the shows suck. Now that I think about it, I watch a lot of dumb shows.

My mom said she likes Reaper???????

miss staff said...

Reaper is okay. The main character's best friend is funny.
