I'd like to post an answer but since my writers are on strike I have nothing to say.

I have long suspected all your comments weren't entirely yours.

No, some come from the voices in my head, when I choose to acknowledge them. But they're on strike, too.

My kids would really like to see new episodes of "Ugly Betty" but understand why the writers are striking.

In a way, I wanna thank them all for giving me time in which to view all my PBS non-drama recordings, which generally have to wait for rerun period, now. When its half-rerun period. Or whatever.

I also wanna thank them all for causing Lawn Order CI to be put back on a station I can watch, so I can see the beginnings of the ones my sister recorded for me but started a little late, & the whole-thing of the ones she can't find the tape of, this winter instead of never in case #1 & "when she finds it" in case #2.

In a way, I also feel I got to see more of shows I liked that would have otherwise gotten yanked early, like Journeyman. Even if they did screw around with its night toward the end.

I've been watching Canadian shows which are only ordered 13 at a time & shown once per year, when I can get them that is; however, these programs know they'll only have 13 shows/year, so they get to put everything they've got into those shows. At any rate, seeing only 9 or 13 shows of a series doesn't make me write the show off, even though America shows generally don't have "all we've got" put into the 9 or 13 we've seen, because the writers & producers thought they would have a whole 26-show season. Now, fellow-Americans who follow cable shows, which also have short seasons, have pretty much that same outlook. But I fear other Americans may simply lose interest in "not a full season"/"left us hanging on not-an-official cliffhanger" shows.

I bet my voices could beat up your voices. And my voices don't need no stinkin' union.

Them's fightin' words, but since my voices are on strike I have no cutting nor witty rejoinder.
