The time we’ve all be dreading is almost here. Pretty soon, the networks are going to run out of original episodes of just about everything and, with a few minor exceptions, the airwaves will soon be flooded with some of the most tired and brainless programming imaginable. (Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants, anyone? Matt Roush of TV Guide has put together a sobering missive on the subject.) Sure, some of us still worship Idol and others appreciate the sometimes stupefying yet crazy addictive Big Brother, but we’ll still have plenty of spare time if this strike drags on.
