things i've learned during--and, in one way or another, as a result of--the strike

-jon stewart is even funnier a person than i had given him credit for.

-it's always sunny in philadelphia is hysterical. charlie is one of the greatest characters ever.

-robot chicken is what happens when family guy has no allegiance to main characters.

-as hard as this is to admit to myself, i actually get lonely without my favorite shows having new episodes. i hated the last season of 24, and i was not particularly looking forward to this one, but jack bower's absence in my life is certainly felt.

-the simpsons can still actually be funny. that 90's show, season 19 ep 11, was one of the best i have ever seen. the BTTF reference...incredible.

-the wire is hands down the most brilliant television show ever made.

-nick gas really is dead. i love the n, but i was fine having it a few hours a day on noggin. the world is a sadder place without gas.
