Afternoon Reading: Things We Just Came Across

Some strike-related and some not...

• Another blogger mulls the effect of the three-month layoff on viewing patterns and how that might affected the audience for bubble shows like "Samantha Who?" (TV Addict)
• Our man in Kansas City mulls winners and losers in the strike, and perhaps not surprisingly, most parties fit in both categories. (TV Barn)
• Once again live from New York...it's Seth Myers' chin! (TV Decoder)
• Changing television by strike? Ad agencies see an opportunity for new modes of business, including a year-round season. (NY Times)
• Benjamin Bratt as human rehab angel in "The Cleaner," coming soon on A&E. (Hollywood Reporter)
• NBC apparently wants the February 2009 sweeps moved because of the looming digital TV conversion effective on 2/17/09. The peacock rightly thinks viewing patterns might be a little fucked up that week. (TV Squad)
