One Good Thing To Come Out of The Writers' Strike

Because of the ongoing writers' strike, Fox said it will not air "24" this season.
The seventh season was scheduled to begin in January, but producers had completed only 8 of its 24-episode order. And they didn't want to start a season unless they were sure they could show all 24 hours in a row.
"24" started production late, and was affected by the recent wildfires. Kiefer Sutherland, is also scheduled to do a stint in jail later this year in connection with a drunk-driving conviction.
"Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," originally slated to run in tandem with "24," will now premiere on Sunday, Jan. 13, and will air in "24's" Monday 9 p.m. slot, following "Prison Break" and the reality series "When Women Ruled the World."

I'm very disappointed in the announcement and even disappointed on the perspective stated in the headline.

My friends like a lot of shows, teams, players, things that I don't like but I would never let my dislike for them get to the point that their deprivation of it would be a "good thing".

Not all entertainment is for everyone but no entertainment is required. I would hope Paul, you'd be disappointed FOR the (at least) three people who were bummed at this announcement.
