Hollywood Writers Strike

Hollywood writers picket; late-night TV first to feel effects - USATODAY.com (http://www.usatoday.com/life/2007-11-01-writers-strike_N.htm?loc=interstitialskip)

This could get pretty interesting, as late night tv is already going into reruns, primetime series could end early or not make in on the air at all (see 24), and some cable shows might actually become network staples in the coming months (see Battlestar Galactica)

How will we live? How will we survive? I feel shaky and weak already. Are those bugs on my skin? ;)

Reminds me of a line from a Woody Allen story: Paris. Everywhere there is light! The mimes are on strike and the whole city is shut down..

what a joke. millions of production jobs leaving America, with nary a peep. and these couple of hundred writers crying about DVD sales. don't make me laugh. where is Ronald Reagan when you need him? i tend to think air traffic controllers are worth alittle more. and we all know how that turned out

They're doing us a favor...a break from new crap coming out of Hollywood.

Perfect timing! Now I can just play my new Call of Duty 4 game on my Xbox 360 and not have to worry about catching up on the shows. :-)

Hollywood people just get on my nerves. In their time off they are probably thinking of a new awards show they could have to prop up their egos just a little more.

Come on, they're trying to get their cut from all the sales rather than what the Studios throw to them. Plus, I'm enjoying seeing the Studios at least cringe because those mofos can't outsource writing to other countries, hell, they can't even outsource them to the UK.

Go Writers!

i see their point. but what kind of union would allow this in the first place?

You obviously don't make your living writing. You obviously don't really know all the details behind the strike. Check your facts before posting an uneducated opinion.

So you don't go to movies or watch tv, I guess. Lemme guess...you read.
