At first we were afraid
We were petrified
Thinking we could never live without our TV Guide
But now we've spent so many nights thinking how you did us wrong
And we grew strong
We learned how to get along
But now your back
Writers of Without a Trace
We'll soon turn you on to see that you're back in your old place
We should have put up a child block
We should have canceled ABC
If we had known for the past three months you'd only come back for more money
Go on now go
Just picket some more
'Cause you're not welcome in this house anymore
Weren't you all the ones who hurt us without a goodbye?
You just weren't humble
But writers now our eyes are dry
Oh no
Not we will survive
We will survive
Hey hey G?
We thought we could trust you. We thought you would always be there for us, writing the scripts to our favorite shows. But you, Writers Guild of America, took away the only thing we ever loved for three whole months, and now you're trying to come back just like nothing ever happened? I think not. How childish you were to stamp your feet and raise signs in the air, but just like any unruly child at the candy store, you, of course, eventually got what you wanted. We all know this positive reinforcement will work for awhile, but who knows when you writers, or even those screen actors, as the rumors say, will react in the same way looking for a little more dough. Well, we can't take it anymore. This was the last straw. Don't you know how unfair this is to us TV devotees who get stuck in the middle of these battles? Instead of being the middlemen (and middlewomen), we're going to give you writers of Grey's Anatomy and Scrubs a taste of your own medicine. We will strike back against the strikers!
Would Callie take back George? Would Christina take back Burke? No! So why should we let these writers (and the shows they write for) back into our lives? This was not a healthy relationship for us TV addicts these past few months, and therefore it must end cold turkey. I suggest we take the high road, the one not littered with old TV sets and cable boxes, and simply hide our remotes for the next few months. It won't be easy late at night when we're feeling lonesome; it is tempting to fall back into the grasps of Gossip Girl and the hands of House when they start airing again in March, but we must prevail!
You writers, who forced us to watch reality show after reality show, will soon know what it's like to be ignored. We will turn our backs on your shows and when the numbers fall drastically, and you worry about the safety of your jobs, we hope those extra thousands of dollars can keep you warm at night. We, instead, will spend our nights lying on the floor in prom dresses, drunk dancing in the living room and having revenge trysts with inappropriate coworkers. You, who used to turn us on, will see what it's like to be turned off.
