However, today I had a thought to myself and I'm sure a lot of folks have thought it too:

"If the writers strike hadn't happened would I have bothered watching shows that I had not noticed before?"

Take for instance, Thursday nights, usually a peach for my favourite shows, and none of them are on, I flick through the sky box and land on Grey's Anatomy. Now I have seen clips for this show and I see how cute "McDreamy" is and all but it just doesn't appeal to me, but I stick with it because there is nothing better on. 60 mins later and I am logging onto amazon to update my rentals list, Grey's anatomy season 1 and 2 here we come! I'll admit, it's now one of my many favourites!!

So what do you guys think? Obviously it was not good for the people that were unemployed during the strike but could it perhaps have been a good thing for tv fans?

This could be a massive debate but what I'm looking for are people like me that used it as an opportunity to find new shows! So anyone who found a show that they had dismissed when it first aired then secretly fell in love with during the strike, get in touch, maybe we could find even more gems!!
