That is exactly what happened. Lost was another show that got hurt a bit during the Writer's Guild Strike.

I have watched so many eps of this and never get bored. It is a nice quick 30 min show that definitely doesn't takw itself too seriously. Keep trucking on through more seasons.

Idk much about the writer's guild strike, but did any of the interim writers rise out of it and make a name for themselves?

Idk, that would be a good thing to research/look into. I may do it when I have some free time.

According to Wikipedia, the strike lasted a little over three months, but Heroes sucked for AT LEAST two seasons (three from what I've heard). The only good thing about the later seasons was that they introduced Elle (Kristen Bell). I loved her.

Told you they didn't give a ****.

The strike might have only been three months but it impacted entire seasons of shows.

Been watching Vinyl on HBO. Its set in the 70's and has an array of stars in it. Great show.

Vinyl (TV Series 2016)

I was tempted to watch it if only for Olivia Wilde but idk if I want to see a show about The Rolling Stones. Not a big fan.

and lawl Fred. Still posting sloppy links the same way even after I tried to teach you how to do it the other way.

Just finished season II and I'm beginning to think that:

Sopranos > Breaking Bad

It's not official yet but if they can keep up the pace they've been on so far I think it'll be a lock.

When I was two seasons in I kind of felt the same way that you did, but having seen it all I can say that BB is the stronger series. Sopranos really starts to dwindle during the fourth season.
