It's a trick... Get an Axe.

It's been a rough time to be a student of Television. A barren, dry time with vast spans of drought in between sips of refreshing water. We like to take our TV watching seriously, also... We spend too much time thinking about it. The Writer's Strike seems to us like that evil killer* at the end of some movie...

Is the nightmare really over?
OR
Will it's eyes spring open at the last minute and stab the dorky smart-ass in the chest before he can get the hot-girl?

I mean, it's a writers strike... so we keep expecting some silly twist ending to this story. However, the WGA seems to have finally reached an agreement with the studios. Looks like it'll stick this time, we can only hope.

So we're allowing ourselves to get a little excited about seeing our favorite shows go back into production. Hopefully in time to finish off their already truncated season. (We're looking at you Lost) If you're like us, check out TV Guide's hourly updated list of When your favorite shows will return.

* We don't actually think that Union Writers are in any way evil, although stale television certainly is.
