A Meeting of the Monday Night Minds

Finally, a positive development to come out of the writers strike: A kumbayah moment between bitter Monday night 8 p.m. rivals "Chuck" and "How I Met Your Mother."

OK, not so bitter. But rivals, yes. On the picket line, however, "Chuck" creator Josh Schwartz (center) and "How I Met Your Mother" creators Craig Thomas (left) and Carter Bays (right) were united as showrunners Wednesday morning in front of Disney.

Could a "Chuck" -- "HIMYM" crossover episode be far behind? Was a "Robin Sparkles" music video among the government images downloaded into Chuck's brain? Check back post-strike.
