No more TV for awhile... (Writers Strike)

It's about time they finally did this, since it's been rumored for months now. Not that I want them to do it, but I just want to get this whole thing over with already.

I honestly don't know if I'll even feel the effects of this. I don't watch much late night television, and I'm putting my money on the networks having this resolved before it affects most scripted shows. Assuming most networks have enough shows to get them through to the Christmas hiatus, the earliest those shows would be affected is probably January, and they'll probably have already caved in by then.

Worst case scenario, TV ends forever, right?

How ya doing, buddy?

But we all know they ran out of good reality show concepts about five years ago.

How ya doing, buddy?

Without getting into a big argument about it, I'm just gonna say that I'm not taking a side on this either way. Sure, the networks are being assholes about paying them what they deserve, but honestly I think the writers are being somewhat greedy as well.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Are you kidding? With all the rewrites and delays they went through over the summer, I'm surprised they actually got out the ten or so they're reported as having. And as much as it pains me to admit, I'd rather have no 24 at all than have less than half a season with no idea when it will finish.

As for writers opposing the strike, I know the official vote was something like 90% of them agreed to go on strike, so there were definitely some who openly opposed it, and probably more who were just too cowardly to go against the grain.
