Poll question: my response to the writer's strike will be:

(disclaimer: I both support the writers on the picket line and occasionally watch TV)

[nadinbrzezinski]

1. Given I don't watch Teevee... there is a strike?

:-)

[ulysses]

2. BAD American!

:D

[NanceGreggs]

3. Other ...

A great opportunity to catch up on all of those shows you've taped over the years, carefully labeled, put on the shelf and said, "Hey, someday I'll have time to sit down and watch this."

I'm not saying that I, myself, have ever done such a thing - but I think I have a few Hill Street Blues and St. Elsewhere episodes somewhere that I haven't gotten around to yet ...

[ulysses]

5. LOL!

If you run out, I think I have large parts of Live Aid and a few Duran Duran videos on tape at my parents' house. :D

[rwheeler31]

4. Bitch and support those writers.

[gatorboy]

6. I'm catching up on my episodes of OZ

Not to mention we just bought an HD-DVD player and HD Transformers....Is SO....Purty...

[Nevernose]

11. Just RUB IT IN, you bastard.

According to the latest fiduciary breakdown, it won't be until next summer that I can afford an HD player and Transformers on HD. It was supposed to be last month, but life didn't work out that way...

Until then I've assembled a reading list and have played a LOT of frisbee with my kid. Yeah, the "family" thing and the "reading" are okay, but I'd prefer a little HD-TV. Just a little. I'd still play frisbee before school, I swear...

(Note the lack of a sarcasm tag :))

18. I'd be on the look just before Christmas, my friend.

Unless you have a preferance (HD-DVD or Blu-Ray), I'd say there's a good chance you can snag an HD-DVD Player at an affordable price. Best Buy sold a Toshiba model for $98 bucks last Friday (normally in the $300+ price range). It came with the HDMI cord and a send-in offer for 5 free HD movies. It's hundred bucks, sure. But considering just how expensive these players were. It's a steal.

7. None of the above.

I don't watch much tv, so even reruns will be "new" to me if I sit down in front of the tube on any given night.

[Adsos Letter]

8. scrump?

[ulysses]

9. yup.

:D

[riverdeep]

10. Maybe it's like 'schtump'? n/t

[Adsos Letter]

13. oh...well, then...

...I gotta' gp with "scrump"...I think...

She'll certainly let me know if I can or not...

:D

[WillyT]

14. To Steal Apples...

Or...

:evilgrin:

[ulysses]

15. "to steal apples", of course.

What did you think I meant? :D

[Adsos Letter]

17. I choose #2...

:D

[MrSlayer]

12. The shows I watch are already in the can.

South Park, Robot Chicken, Journeyman, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Dexter are already done. And you don't need writers for the NFL or NHL. All I'm going to miss are TDS and Colbert.

[Beelzebud]

16. Same thing I always do. Read and play video games.

[qdemn7]

19. Geez are you behind the times!

You should have a had a vote for "Watch programs saved on my Tivo" I've got a couple of hundred hours recorded on my units.

[Hoof Hearted]

20. spend more time studying, so that's a good thing.

[TheFarseer]

21. I hardly watch TV, so most of it will be new to me anyway n/t

[Blue Belle]

22. How 'bout catching up on the re-runs of the shows I haven't been able to watch?

I don't always get to see them the first time around, so the re-runs are new to me.

[Grey]

23. Yawnnn.. n/t
