House and the Writers Strike

So after realizing today that House might had been a repeat because of the writers strike, I Googled for some info. I found this…

Don’t like House but want to read the medical review of each show? [url=http://www.politedissent.com/house_pd.html]Visit this site.[/url] I like House to much to care how inaccurate the treatments are. For me, Hugh Laurie makes the show worth watching.

Oh and as for the writers strike effecting House…

[quote="TV Guide"]Although statements circulated by producers and writers yesterday reveal that only $20 million separates their contract proposals, we still may be no closer to seeing this strike resolved. How can that be? The issue isn’t the $20 million — producers drop that over lunch — it’s how to assess compensation for ever-changing digital platforms. In any case, talks, such as they are, will resume today. — Ben Katner Dec 4, 2007 9:20 AM[/quote]
