ABC writers strike

Back in November of 2007 ABC's writers went on strike. This caused the delay in popular TV series like Grey's Anatomy, The Office, Desperate Housewives, and many others. These shows were put on hold due to the network running out of scripts because the writers stopped producing. As a result of these strikes writers are now being told by producers that they might not be allowed to participate in the future of ABC. Recently in February negotiations were finally reached and the strikes were officially put to a stop.
This relates to me personally because I am a Grey's Anatomy fanatic. The last episode aired was very dramatic so the next apisode has been long awaited. Word is that the next Grey's Episode will be towards the end of April. My other personal favorite is The Office. For the past five months nothing but reruns have been airing and I'm soooo ready for new episodes!

I know that's right! Reruns are so irritating, especially when you are so sure the episode that's coming on is not going to be one.
