With the writer's strike on full blast, entertainment is hard to come by. But thankfully, you're friends with me and I'm here to help. GET TO DOWNLOADING.
Dexter
Get the jump on CBS who will start airing the Showtime series Feb 13th. Micheal C. Hall (of "Six Feet Under" fame) plays a serial killer who is also a forensic pathologist (murder scene blood work). They've already pumped out two seasons worth of this crime drama meets avenger story. It's darkly witty and I can't get enough of it.
Breaking Bad
The dad from "Malcolm in the Middle" is a high school chemistry teacher.He finds out that under the best circumstances he'll die in two years from cancer. He promtly looses his shit and starts cooking meth to make money. The first tv series I've ever seen with a black comedy streak so deep it borders on reality. only two episodes out right now, so get hooked before everyone else.
American Idol
Some people live and die by this shit, but let's be honest, the auditions are the best. It's so simple and straight to the point. People come in three flavors: Awesome, bland, and horrible. I wish they would only do auditions or do an "American Rejects" show. Auditions are almost over, so get on it.
A Daily Show
Without it's writers, Jon Stewart is still shining, although without the bite is admittedly diminished.
Colbert Report
Same goes here, only I kinda like Stephen more.
Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job
IF YOU DON NOT LIKE THIS SHOW YOU CANNOT BE MY FRIEND ANY MORE.
Mythbusters
I don't even think this show needs writers, so it plows on.
Dirty Jobs
Mike Rowe: Man, host, badass, possible sex symbol for our times. This show could be more entertaining unless Dog the Bounty hunter was shooting people in the background while every stripper in America danced around.
Reno 911
Somehow it gets better every year. New episodes airing now.
Celebrity Apprentice
I never really cared for the show, but after I heard Gene Simmons was on, I was on. And now, even though Gene's gone, I still like the show. I also think I nursing some illegal feelings for Trump's daughter.
So, that's how I'm making it. 'course watching some older stuff and netflix hasn't been hurting either. Feel free to leave comments about how you're surviving.

New Chris Rock Material
I've been hoping to see a new Chris Rock special soon, somebody's gotta fill that void after Dave Chapelle left, and frankly, I just don't think Carlos Mancia is the man for that job. He's funny, but, he's just not Dave. Click though for a complete list, but here's some highlights:
On Bush: "He just doesn't give a fuck about you. In the history of not giving a fuck no one has ever given less of a fuck."
On Giuliani: "He's kind of like a pit bull. Great if you have burglars but if you don't, he'll probably eat your kids."
"People say he was great on 9/11, but what about 9/10, 5/21, 12/13, hell, pick a date, any date, the guy wasn't shit."
OH CHRISTOPHER ROCKALOWSKI.
