[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

There's more than one rat in NYC now - I think the original one was starting to look a little shabby.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I know there are at least two versions, big rat and small rat.

I hope the Rock Center one is the big rat.

Ms. Sherman-Palladino continued, “I was telling my husband” — Daniel Pallidino, her writing partner on the new Fox show and on “Gilmore Girls,” and a fellow picketer — “that we need some new and better chants, but he reminded me: ‘No writing. None.’ ”

Hee.

not your mom's socks.

This is going to sound really stupid, and I don't know if it would be helpful, or be economically bad for residuals and show-survival. But has anyone talked about a watch-out in support of the writers?

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

But has anyone talked about a watch-out in support of the writers?

i'm not considering a watch-out so much as i'm contemplating letting shows pile up on my dvr and instead watching movies. this is also my attempt to meet my 100 movies in 2007 challenge, which i am woefully behind on.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

But has anyone talked about a watch-out in support of the writers?

An idea I've borrowed from others is that I'm plain not watching re-runs, and watching no shows created to fill the void. Thus, when Colbert goes into re-runs tonight, I'm not watching, and while I'll watch the shows I usually watch until they run out of episodes, and even intend to keep watching "Project Runway," the shows that emerge specifically for the networks to counter the strikes (I call them Scab Shows) are off limits.

Personally, while it's what I plan for my own behavior, a total, widespread "watch out" would be more effective, and that's an admission of weakness on my part. But, taking that into account, strictly supporting original work is probably the best one can do.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I say don't buy any online content. iTunes and the like. No reruns. No shitty reality shows which end in other show slots.
