Coming Soon to a TV Near You...

I really do miss my weekly watch parties with my friends, where we all curl up in front of the TV with popcorn and live vicariously through the characters of Grey’s Anatomy and Desperate Housewives. I miss pretending I have a hot boyfriend like McDreamy or a wardrobe like Gabrielle Solis.

But despite my yearning, I do understand (and agree with) the principle behind the writer’s strike. There seems to be a struggle between intellectual property, advances in technology (in terms of sharing) and due compensation. It seems unfair that a writer’s idea can be reproduced ten times over without being compensated. But by the same token, why would I pay $60 at Borders for a Grey’s Anatomy box DVD set, if I can get the same thing for free at ABC.com? There needs to be some happy medium. And I think the answer lies in a pay increase for the writers. (And apparently the two parties finishing up negotiations agree).
