Greg Daniels on the strike.

The first line spoils what Jenna hinted at in her blog about what was in store for the next episode to be shot, and the last question looks to spoil a bit of next week's too, but other than that, it's good:

Another thing I think is important for the public to know is that our government gives broadcast licenses to these big media companies to create the public culture. For them to just be only concerned with money, for them to say they don't mind taking The Office off the air, The Shield off the air, Grey's Anatomy off the air and replacing them with new reality shows like, you know, America's Loudest Voice and America's Prettiest Face, that's not fulfilling their obligation to create a good public culture.

30 Rock is becoming one of my (many) favorite shows. I startled the cat awake 3 or 4 times watching last night's episode, although now I can't remember what they were.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

How I Met Your Mother - 2 episodes left. The final Office is Thursday. Earl has 7 episodes left. Ugly Betty will have 5 more eps, although the last few are done from drafts.

I admit it -- this makes me v. happy.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

I'll be sitting in the corner with Steph.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh -- I feel like I should stop watching TV now, to save some for later...

Also, on 30 Rock, does anyone not in NY remember Rick Lazio? Because that campaign ad was hilarious, but it seemed awfully local.

Earl has 7 episodes left.

Wow. That's surprising. I guess they started shooting early.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Earl has a large number of outside shots, which may mean that they have to have a considerable run-up time to keep it all under control. Although, this season in particular, with Earl in prison and the rest of the cast back in Camden County pursuing a largely separate plot, they can conceivably run two units nearly simultaneously.

And they probably had to have a significant lead time for Joy's story in "Creative Writing" to be animated (and Darnell's song to be recorded).
