Something tells us it won't be long before the current financial plight gets a prime-time spotlight. Here's how a few shows could incorporate the economic crisis.
Gossip Girl
After a sad-sack dinner at Applebee's (on the menu: Nachos Nuevos and
light beer), Serena and Blair head to Old Navy for some retail therapy
and end up fighting over the last paisley tunic.
Dirty Sexy Money
Once their vast fortune dries up, the Darlings are forced to move in
with Ugly Betty's family in (gasp!) Queens. Who gets to wear the homely
poncho to keep warm after the electric company shuts off the heat?
Entourage
An economically paranoid Drama — who's already under a vow of celibacy
until the Dow rises — tries to make some quick money by selling old
clothes to Viking Quest fans overseas.
The Office
Their jobs are outsourced to Japan, so the staff riots at Dunder
Mifflin's headquarters. In a recycled plot twist (remember — everything is
reused in tough times), Meredith somehow breaks her pelvis again.
