Nick at Nite Gets Extra Half-Hour; TVShowsonDVD.com Sounds Off on Banned Material; Writer's Strike?
Our friends at TVShowsonDVD.com have passed a story on to us for you all to read. Dave Lambert, the news director, has a new entry at his TVGuide.com blog, "DVD Guy," asking people to give their input about whether so-called "banned material" - such as smoking-related scenes or old cartoons that contain racial stereotypes - ought to be excluded from DVD release so as not to offend, or if it should be included all-the-way to truly represent the feature as it was originally produced and presented.

Well as some of you may know, there could be a Hollywood Writer's Strike starting this Monday. It seems it will be taking place and hopefully it gets resolved very soon, so our favorite TV shows are not affected. Rumor has it that Heroes has already shut down production after 11 episodes. We will keep you up to date on this, and we shouldn't be affected really until January, as we have enough episodes so far to last us through November sweeps and the holidays.
Reality shows, game shows, and newsmagazines could fill our schedules by February if this is not resolved soon. Yes, sitcoms and dramas will be dead if the strike happens. So, let's pray we get quality television back soon!
On a side note, thankfully the writer's strike will not be affecting this website! Yes, we will continue to write on the blog if there is a strike! In addition, our DVD reviews will also still go on. That should make you all feel a little bit better at least! Our writers are workhorses!
