The TV writer's strike which began Nov. 4 is fading to black after minor blips announcing the cancellation of the Golden Globes and the possibility of the Oscars going away, as well.
As it stands, Comcast cable should consider its responsibilities to pony up a payback for the dearth of new programming on TV.
Even before the strike, unscripted TV was cluttering the airwaves at an alarming rate. Whole evenings went by with nary a new drama or new sitcom to even try on the major networks. Each evening, the need to turn to the computer and Internet has come sooner and sooner.
Tonight is one of those cold nights, where it would be great to just watch mind candy on the tube. Instead I'm again faced with the work of seeking out shows on YouTube and iTunes.
Maybe you're in my same boat. Here are some iTunes video podcasts worth considering.

I have satellite - and am watching Magnolia for the 30millionth time (I own the movie too but it's actually on). BUT, thanks for adding your links. I'm going to load some talks from Ted now (finally).
Ah yes, I am sort of in the same boat except I mostly watch TV shows on my computer these days. I really have to cancel the cable, I havent watched a tv show on my tv in over six months. Anyways, I been watching TV shows that I missed at the networks sites. Currently, I am watching Friday Night Lights which is much better than I thought a TV show about Texas high school football could be. NBC.com has all of season one and what has been aired so far of season 2 on their website. Full episodes too. And well, LOST is coming back soon which will be fun.
The strike has already impacted Lost... Sniff, sniff.
