Forget the Troops, Bring the Writers Home For Christmas!

Here’s the latest on which shows are finito and which still have a little life left.

Enough is enough, people. Let’s get our respective houses in order and put an end to the strike. I can’t bear four nights a week of American Idol and I sure as Hell am not going to be able to sustain myself on repeats of Law & Order: Fill In The Blank on USA.

The one show that has really given me that pit-feeling in my stomach though, is Lost. I’m beginning to think CU and I would have had a better shot at seeing those last eight episodes when we were actually in Hawaii three months ago.

I’ve been pondering the idea of bringing back beloved shows from yesteryear to try to squeeze a little more ad revenue out of them. With a serious lack of “family-friendly” television on the air now, what about repeats of Eight is Enough or my current fave, The Waltons? Think Tim Daly is the hottest thing on Private Practice? You should have seen him as a crack commuter airline pilot on Wings! And, I don’t know about you - but I think the world could use a Doogie Howser, M.D. revival.

Or…pick up HBO and Showtime and gorge yourself on Big Love, Entourage, Californication, and Weeds repeats.

Oh - for the record, I don’t watch Big Brother. Someone always tells me that’s “coming back” and truthfully, I don’t get the appeal. It’s sort of like The Real World, except the participants are grown adults who can’t use the ignorance of youth as an excuse for their behavior. But then again, I watch Bridezillas…so I suppose I shouldn’t be casting such big stones.

    I can bury myself in Six Feet Under since I really only saw the first season.

    Are you watching Real Housewives of Oak Cliff (OOOPS… I mean Orange County)?
