Long Hiatuses

Yes, Larry David, we understand that you need your space and that the mere notion of a hard-and-fast deadline for Curb Your Enthusiasm would probably bring about a crippling case of writer’s block; sure, 24, we know your show’s unique concept requires more time to write than the average hour-long drama, and go ahead, use the writers’ strike as a scapegoat for last season’s deletion; and J.J. Abrams, we accept that you’re one of the busiest people in showbiz and that Lost is just one of your many “babies.” Your commitment to excellence is greatly appreciated, but it need not come at the expense of timeliness. See Tina Fey’s 30 Rock, which was ready in time for fall despite being TV’s best comedy.
