A report on etonline says that the writers strike will most likely come to an end on Sunday putting the writers back to work on Monday.
I remember back when the whole strike started in November thinking 'This is not that big of a deal.' Boy was I wrong. I never thought that I would be so affected by not being able to see new episodes of my favorite shows. I felt lost an not in touch with the world because I couldn't get new episodes of 'The Daily Show.' I didn't know where else to go for my news. "Tom" Stewart has been doing his show for about a week and a half now and it has really taken me back to the good ol' days where I got new episodes of my favorite programs.
I've been able to hold off with new episodes of "Rob and Big," but I need the final season of "Scrubs" and new episodes of "Family Guy." I think I have seen every syndicated episode of both of these shows since November.
But now it seems like the strike is finally over and my life can return to normal.

I definately agree with you when you said that you didn't think it was a big deal when it first started! I remember thinking that it would be over in a couple of weeks. Here we are now in Feburary and it is still going on. I am happy to hear that it is almost over because I have found myself watching too much reality!!!
Personally I have reconnected with some of my old favorites from middle school and early high school. Sabrina the Teenage Witch has been on a lot, as well as The Fresh Prince. I have forgotten how much I enjoyed those shows and have really loved watching them lately. Although, you have all made some very important points. I do miss Scrubs and have seen just about every episode of family guy by now.
