It appears that the Writers’ Guild strike may be over this week. What programs have you missed most?
(Asked at Almaden Branch Library and Community Center)

“I’ve missed ‘House’ and ‘Bones.’ I’m so excited the strike will be over. But the writers struck for a good reason. The executives are getting millions of dollars while the writers get little or nothing.”

“Medium’ is the one program I look forward to watching. I’m happy that the strike is going to be over.”
