The five major late-night talk shows returned to the airwaves Wednesday night, with the striking writers never far from their thoughts. David Letterman and Craig Ferguson returned with writers, as Letterman's production company struck a deal, but Leno, Kimmel and O'Brien did not. Evidence of the strike was everywhere, from a strike-themed Letterman Top Ten list to NBC hosts taking questions from the audience (Leno) and ring spinning on a desk (O'Brien).

Dave -> yawn. Nothing against Dave, but when he does these special-interest shows, like the joke-free one post-9/11 or last night's "strike" show, he loses his edge quickly. I hope the old goofball Dave is back tonight, sans beard.

As for the others, I don't know if they were ordered back to work, or if they were willingly crossing picket lines. I reserve judgment. As for the guests, unless they're there to talk about the strike, they're clearly and deliberately crossing the picket line. I know I won't be watching any of the scab shows as long as the strike lasts.

Did you hear Huckabee state on Leno that he would like to see Obama get the nom? All those republican's pulling for Obama, isn't that so altruisic of them!?

They all want the democrats to have the strongest candidate don't they?
