Did the writers strike make you stop watching a show?

I was already backing off on Ugly Betty after the anti-white comment made by Vanessa William's character and the fact that it is just too gay for me. When the strike happened I left and never looked back.
I miss Pushing Daisies. I wish it would return but on a different night.

I stopped watching ER, which I've been watching since it premiered.

Absolutely. Ugly Betty and House. The Former has changed so much in the second season I just have not been connecting to it at all. I adored the first season. The latter because it hasn't changed. I am tired of watching the same plots over and over (The "Why is House such an ass?" episodes). Both are boring. I also find it hard to get through CSI episodes, so that may be next.

But I was very excited for Grey's to come back, and I'm happy to watch SVU (though that prison episode was horrifying). Grey's has lots of interesting characters, and when one frustrates you it's not like a virus like with House, there are others to pick up the slack (I miss Addison, hate Izzie). The situations change and things don't lose momentum, it doesn't get stuck (arguably).

But really I think it's characters that drive the show's essential watchability, how interesting each is individually, and I just think that Grey's has great characters, and as much as SVU can be odd I like watching Benson and Co.

The writing is so bad for TV shows generally that I seldom watch network TV. There are maybe half a dozen shows worth watching (between commercials), so I see no difference in programming since the writers' strike ended.

The Writers Strike made me lose interest in alot of shows "Grey's Anatomy" being the biggest, those first couple of weeks i was just waiting for the shows to return but as it drug on i realized "Grey's" wasnt worth it I thought most of this Season sucked anyway so i chose not to return.
The only reason I tuned into "Desperate Housewives" was because of the Katherine Mayfair mystery and I keep watching that and "Ugly Betty","College Hill"

I was watching "The Wire" and "Arrested Development" (two of the greatest shows ever) during the strike...except for 30 Rock and The Office I didn't miss any shows.

I feel like we're all in a TV Addicts Anonymous meeting. Some have kicked the habit while others just couldn't. I think DVR is the best thing since sliced cheese... Or is it bread?

I'm so loving LOST, Desperate and I can't wait to watch the first two episoded of Grey's.

Does the fact that I have all 10 episodes of this season of Lost sitting unwatched on my Tivo mean that I have stopped watching it?

I got STFU-sick of Grey's Anatomy at the start of the current season (the god-forsaken deer-centric season opener). I have declared the house a Grey's-free zone since the strike, and my wife (a once avid fan) has eagerly complied.

Oh, and after the disgrace that was the last season of "24", I am pleased as punch that it was a strike casualty this season. Maybe the extra YEAR will give the writers a chance to come up with something non-derivative of the past 5 seasons...

Shows that the strike took away prematurely? Terminator and Pushing Daisies. You can keep GA -- give me back the Pie Maker!

I gave up watching "TV" back in January by cancelling my DirecTV service. Since then I keep up with my favorite shows by viewing them online. FREE is good.

I haven't dropped anything, though I'm going to be watching Moonlight online now because it's up against Doctor Who and I did miss the return of House on Monday because I had other plans and didn't remember it was going to be on until too late to set up a tape.
