Anyone who knows me, knows I love for TV. I know all the scoop on the lastest castings and storylines (thanks to TVGuide Online and E!Online). Some people follow sports, I follow TV. Call me crazy, but I can't help it if I'm addicted to the Dwight's antics on "The Office" and the football drama on "Friday Night Lights."
But now, as Thursday night nears (the best night on television), I feel, well, empty. Because of the Writer's Guild of America strike that's still going on (yes, it's still going on), there are no new episodes of "The Office" to enjoy - not to mention "The Daily Show" and "Colbert Reports" are still in repeats, as are most late-night shows. And it's only going to get worse. As December is right around the corner, most of the TV shows I love - and I'm sure you do too - will either just stop in their tracks or go into re-runs as the scripts run dry.
But wait! A beacon of light may be on the horizon. The WGA resumed talks this past Monday with producers about breaking a deal (the writers just want to be compensated for online digital shows and downloads). However, details aren't being released as to how the talks are going. Cross your fingers and hope that they can reach a deal soon.
Luckily, as of right now, "Grey's Anatomy" is still airing new episodes on Thursdays to fill the void left by the departure of "The Office." It's not much, and Meredith and McDreamy's relationship (or lack thereof?) is nothing in comparison to Jim and Pam's loving glances across the Scranton branch, but it will do for now.

You know you miss "The Office" too.

Cant someone like Colbert be bigger than this and write his own script? Or does someone like him not even care that much?
