Breaking News!!– The Writer’s Strike is OVER! I must say that I couldn’t be happier not just for the writers who are now receiving fair compensation for their work but for the fact that I can finally try to get a job in the entertainment industry. A little selfish, I know, but I really do need a job. I can’t work in retail forever because I will simply lose my mind.Television has been pretty terrible in the reality TV front. I can’t handle anymore game shows. I am a fan of the Price is Right and that’s it! I can’t stand the Deal or No Deal bullshit with people still losing with 10 million dollar cases. I also find that lie detector show on Fox one of the most retarded shows ever put on TV. There is a ten minute dramatic pause when the people running the show already know the answers to the questions. If you want the show to be a little more exciting you need to strap the detector on the contestant in front of the crowd and the thousands at home watching and if the person is lying they should get shocked by an electric contraption. I don’t have all the logistics figured out but I think I would check out a show where people get electrocuted.

I must say that I enjoyed some of the late night talk shows. I thought the “Feud” between Colbert, Conan and Stewart was a clever way to fill monologues and the top of their shows. All three are talented guys and I must say I was impressed with their ability to come up with ideas and guests when actors weren’t going on their shows. Conan was the most creative, however because he was able to make an interview with Ann Curry funny. Who knew? haha! I think writers have a very difficult job and I’m sure they are glad to go back to their tiny offices with their trash piling up and drinking obscene amounts of coffee at 3am. It’s the kinda life I dream of having.

I can’t wait for my favorite sitcoms to return like The Office and South Park. I can only imagine what kind of ideas Trey Parker and Matt Stone have been coming up with since the strike began. I’m sure they will have an episode referencing the strike.

We must not forget about the “all-powerful” Oscars that will be hosted by Jon Stewart later this month. I think that it will certainly be better than when Ellen hosted last year. Jon Stewart at least doesn’t take himself so seriously.

I am so happy that the writers are back!! Congrats on the new contract! Now I can start sending out some resumes!! Haha!!  :)
