Season finales much sooner than you think

We all expected this TV season to be all screwy because of the writers’ strike. But this is a little too much, even for those who have massive libraries of TV shows to fall back on (yes, it’s time for Frasier/Family Guy/Friends marathons for me, and that’s only the shows starting with ‘F’).
