For those of you who live in Los Angeles, you may have seen a bunch of people walking around with picket signs outside of the major studios, encouraging cars driving past to honk in support of their cause, but perhaps you weren't sure whether or did support the writer's strike...well, here's something someone forwarded to me to help me understand what all this fuss is about and since I like video instruction, I thought I'd share. And maybe you don't live in Los Angeles, but you know that your television schedule is going to get all kinds of f-d up by the lack of writers, and you'd also like to figure out what the heck is going on.

For more about the strike, as well as tips on how to survive the entertainment drought, follow the jump...

Granted, the writers' strike isn't just affecting writers and the people who watch their shows week after week, there is an entire industry facing unemployment during the time that the Writer's Guild of America and its representatives negotiate a deal that everyone is happy with. Unfortunately, that means there are going to be even more people out of work than are supported by the WGA, which sucks. So, hopefully, everything can be resolved quickly, and when it's done, I can sell a TV show, join the Guild, enjoy the fruits of everyone's labors and get rich off massive DVD sales. Did I just say that out loud? AWKWARD! Seriously, though, I do hope this goes by quickly. We just had crazy wildfires to deal with! Someone needs to cut Los Angelenos a break here!

In response, Wayne Ford and I discussed on our Liquid Lunch Podcast in our most recent episode, Ep. 54 - Tips For Surviving No New Scripted TV, which included stockpiling TiVo'd shows and rationing them out very carefully, utilizing Netflix to help you catch up on good shows from the past you have have missed and if you haven't already, going ahead and giving reality television a try. Additionally, you can always check out Recapist for a different take on episodes you may have already watched--to try and squeeze out some extra humor to make sure you get it all. Only in case of emergency, should you attempt to entertain yourself without the use of TV. It should be a last resort-type of situation, guys. I'm serious. If I catch any of you out, enjoying nature, you damn well have better exhausted all of the above-listed alternates first.

Also, let me remind you guys that we have a GIVEAWAY for you! All you have to do is email me at lisa@socialitelife.com with ANDY DICK GIVEAWAY in the subject, and your full mailing address in the body of the email. It's really that simple.

Genuinely concerned,
