methinks january will bring a dry white tv season indeed.
and what about those award shows?! who will write the stupid jokes? there may be no academy awards this year. oh well.

i know they're definitely worried about the january tv schedule. many shows go on hiatus* for the month of december and come back in january and some don't even start until january which means (as in the case of 24**) they haven't finished writing all the episodes and may not air it at all if the strike continues.


*i've noticed the closer and saving grace (tnt) have come back on a shorter than usual hiatus probably b/c the scripts were already written.


**sutherland is going to jail or rehab anyway so that's another problem for that show.
