Last night as I was laying in bed trying to keep warm and trying to fall asleep, my husband and I flipped on The Tonight Show. With the Writer’s Guild strike in full swing, we expected yet another re-run. What we didn’t expect was a re-run from 1995. Jay Leno’s hair was black. The jokes [...]

This morning I learned that Fox’s “24″ will NOT return in January for Day 7 because of the strike by the Writers Guild of America. OK. Now I’m really mad.
