I feel so discombobulated. We had a normal beginning to the television season, way back last September, then everything just fell apart. New fall shows just ended with no "season finale" and even though we are being told they will be back in the fall (Life, Dirty Sexy Money, Pushing Daisies), I just feel like I was left hanging, with nothing to look forward to. Remember the old days of "Who shot JR?" when we spent all summer anticipating what could possibly happen when the show returned in the fall? So far, the only show that I've felt has given us a good old-fashioned cliff hanger is Nip/Tuck. I don't even remember what happened on the last episode of Life, or Dirty Sexy Money, or Pushing Daisies. So the real question is, will the viewers return to these shows in the fall? Or does the fact that they didn't get a season finale mean that no one really cares to invest in the shows any longer? It's been years since a strike affected television this way, and many shows never recovered -- Moonlighting was one of them.
The only thing good to come out of the strike, IMO, is the rejuvenated season of Lost. I'm not sure I've ever been as intrigued by or confused about any television show. After every episode, I say to my husband, "I am so LOST!" Each episode answers questions, and brings even more questions. "Must See TV" is back again, and while it's still on Thursday nights, this time it's at 10:00 p.m. Eastern on ABC!
