Welcome Back!

The Welcome Back, Kotter tune rambling through my head is appropriate for this post today. It looks as though the Writers Guild of America strike is coming to an end. HURRAH!!!

Our favorite late night shows could be current as early as Wednesday night. Other shows with a longer production lead time could be back on by early April. Granted, some epics (e.g. Heroes, 24) will likely wait until fall to get back in the saddle but as long a mama gets a little candy things will be just fine.

I would be remiss in my shout out to the 70’s with out paying homage the author of one of my favorite generic ‘oh sh*t’ lines, ‘We’re gonna need a bigger boat.’ Roy Scheider, famous for the line as Chief Martin Brody in Jaws, died yesterday—he was 75.

Would I be too much of a geek slash TV junkie if I admitted I never missed SeaQuest DSV?

Stale

I can’t believe we turned the calendar to February today. January came and went without seeing a single blog post. I have composed a dozen or so in my head but alas they have yet to hit the screen.

January took a toll on me—as I notified many of you that it would. Between work, holiday carryover and clean-up and the mere act of keeping warm there were nights where it was all I could do to pour a glass of wine much less log-on.

Never fear gentle reader; I will do better in February. After all... I'll have a whole extra day.
