    IMPOSSIBLE! (I don't know, I haven't watched it, but everyone seems to hate it)

    As a reality TV junkie...I'm happy. Unless it affects Pushing Daisies. Then I'm pissed.

    That's irony, right? Relying on the NHL network for entertainment because the writers are on strike (I know, I know, lockout, etc).

    Good for the writers. Someone has to stick up for the craft. There's always the chance the nets say fuck it and go reality 24/7, but aren't we almost there anyway?

    I'm still pissed at you for not kicknig Dusty in the nuts when you had the chance.

    According to Dave Meltzer, who writes MMA for yahoo.com and is the editor and writer for Wrestling Observer and wrestlingobserver.com, he says that the looming strike won't affect pro wrestling shows and that NBC, which also has USA and Sci-Fi, might use WWE programming as filler in primetime if needed.

    Sounds like yet another good reason to not turn on the television.

    For the record, I'm willing to be a scab writer if the money is right.

    I have little doubt you'd be a big improvement on what passes for good stuff in Hollywood these days.

    I have a few concepts and non-union scripts sitting around:

    Next of Kin: The Series: Hillbillies. Mobsters. Ratings bonanza baby.

    We'll always have Terre Huate ... : Heart warming-coming-of-age tale about a young boy, a dream and his love for all things Flock of Seagulls.

    Smell the Glove: Reality game show. Involves a glove, various odors.

    Did you get my cheese whiz, boy? Quiz show. Involves various spreadable cheese products.

    I can't quite explain why, but "Smell The Glove" made me laugh very hard.
