End of the Writer's Strike

What with the end of the writer's strike, it's still felt like ages since new episodes of many great shows have come out. It's been tough, but the day is finally starting to approach for many new episodes to come out! The Simpsons' new episodes will always hold me through, but there's been a large gap in my weekly schedule, once filled by hours of mindless entertainment.

It looks like the Office will be returning on the week of April 3rd! I'm really excited for that! It's probably the biggest one I've been waiting for...

...Except for the Flight of the Conchords! It looks like this will remain on hiatus for some time to come still. One problem that I was afraid of that seems to be playing a role, is how much of their already existing material (songs) they've used up. I guess they've used up most all of their old music so they'll have to be writing new material for the new episodes, which will take greater time. I've heard various different timelines about when they'll be coming out with new season two episodes, but it doesn't look too soon yet...

How I Met Your Mother is going to be coming out with new episodes on March 17th! That's just a week away, if I'm not mistaken! This is one show I never really expected to like when I first started watching it, but the pieces really fell together well and it clicked. I'm excited to see new episodes of this one!

In the meantime, there has been new "episodes" of American Idol for this season going on and they're already eliminating "stars". Also, America's Next Top Model is in their latest "cycle" (what Tyra calls each season) and new episodes of this are currently airing. Probably most reality shows have been continuing on with new episodes, for those that have cared.
