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

I can definetely understand why the Writers guild would go on strike.

If they feel they're being cheated out of revenue in terms of DVD sales and other forms of media broadcasting their work they should entitled to their fair share of profits.

I don't think this strike will affect me since I don't get a lot of free time to watch tv anyway. It'll be interesting to see what will happen. I would like to think its great that they're standing up to the big corporations because if it wasn't for their hard work then the networks wouldn't have a lot of quality shows on the air.

I may not know a lot of about the entertainment industry but it seems like with the shows I do watch that there is not enough emphasis placed on the writers who actually write for them.

I've been around quite a number of strikes, everything from teachers, college professors, security guards, tradespeople but on a local scale, so it probably can't compare to whats going on now, but I sincerely hope the writers do get they asked for without getting too greedy in the process.

Personally I would like to see this strike go for a long time, just to see how the media world would suffer or to see the extent of the full consequences of this strike on the media itself. I guessing deep down a lot of people don't want to see this strike go for a long period of time since a lot of these writers have their own familiaes and lives to support, but I guess in the meantime it will be the wait and see approach.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
