TV has become almost a nuisance

What can I say: The writer's strike is killing television. Unless you are a reality show fan or maybe you hate the television in general you have started noticing that some of the sit-coms have already hit re-runs and your dramas are about to hit that point to. The writer's guild is going to have to get their act together to save television.

What is going to happen to the others involved in the industry that depend on their jobs to put meals on the table? They studied or worked many years to master their art and now they are being stymied by the hell involved.

I just want resolution!!

ER

I hate the way the writers portrayed Dr. Abby Lockhart (Maua Tierney) in a position where she would put her son in a car while she was drunk and almost get into an accident before going after a Taxi instead. The fact that we have many celebs and even regular everyday people that do this is bad enough but to actually put it on television is awful.

It is not okay even to drink and drive but to put a kid in that situation is even more irresponsible on a writer's part. In a society that looks up to the television and celebrity lifestyle is bad enough writers should not knowingly write in scenes of drunk driving especially when there was no consequences for the character, Abby Lockhart. It shows that as long as you don't get caught everything is okay.

On another note: I will be so glad when Dr. Luka Kovac (Goran Visnjic) comes back next week. I really do miss him and have felt there is much missing while he has been gone.

I get most of my information from The Internet Movie Database, ER"

The Writer's Guild Strike

Come on people that head The Writer's Guild Association get your damn act together. Is it going to come down to having independent writers like myself going into writing scripts and monologues for all our tv shows and heck maybe those writers that want to be known for their work will become known just because those in the Guild cannot write as they are forced out of work because of their membership.

I do believe that late night talk show hosts need to learn how to think and write for themselves though because they are going to lose their viewing audience if they can't get back on the air soon. I would hate to see Jay Leno and even David Lettermen losing their shows just because people have decided that actually going to bed is better than staying up to catch the craziness that the writer's came up with in regards to the day's events. Why is it the hosts can't write?

VH-1's The Shot

I have to say that I really like the idea behind VH-1's newest reality show. The competition is among photographers who want to become famous and get their name and work noticed. Each on of the contestants really do need to get over a ton of hang-ups as well as treat the models and subjects as if they are humans. Dean orginally from Bosnia was the worst, in my opinion -- I would have voted him out after the first shoot and especially after his interaction with the Victoria Secret model. You know, Dean, she is human!

Piper and Ivan really need to work with other people better. Both of them got the leadership role in the two different groups on the boat just because their original photographs were better than the others. Unfortunately they have no social skills whatsoever. Ivan, simply was unable to take charge. On the other hand, Piper did not let her teammates bring anything to the table and at the end of the shoot chewed out her teammates for not listening to her. She also sounded like a parent who lost control of her children not talking to someone on her own level. Yes, I am a parent so I do know what I see when I see it.

The one person I see potential in is Robin. Airic amnd Bree have a little potential as well.

The Young and the Restless

No, Paul was not talking about Victoria but he was talking about the female prosecutor, whose name escapes me at the moment. He knows that she is his long lost daughter from a relationship from his past when he was a teenager or very young adult with a gal named April.

The prosecutor does not know the truth yet but I think that the female detective he is dating is about to convince him to reveal himself to the prosecutor. We shall see.

Private Practice

My gosh, my gosh when the hell are Pete (Tim Daly) and Addison(Kate Walsh) going to get together for real you know they love each other? I know she wants a kid real bad so the thing that the writers should do is get them together, in bed, then oops she gpot pregnant, and go from there. Pete maybe will thus change his mind about marriage once a child is involved.

I missed something last night because I was running around a whole lot so what was it the patient actually had that will kill her if reasearch did not find a cure soon? All I knew was that she was going to leave her husband because of it but Addison, Naomi(Audra McDonald) and t5he lady's own husband talk her into staying and having a baby that they first came into the clinic to find out why they could not get pregnant.


I love the show and would say it is the best new drama of the season.
