    The Writer's Strike

     The writer's strike has been going on for about 2 months now and I definitely notice myself watching a lot less TV.

     

    On one hand:  It seems fair for the writer's to get portions of the profits form internet content.

     On the other hand:  I have a hard time sympathizing with people who's work is 90% crap. 

    If the writer's were baseball players, they would be lucky if they were batting .100, which is enough to get anyone cut.  Apparently this is the strategy the networks have been taking.  Over the past few days ABC, CBS, Fox, Universal, and Warner Bros have been dropping the producers, directors, and writers due to the strike.  ABC slashed about 30% of it's contracts.

     

    How do you feel about the writer's strike?

    Re: The Writer's Strike

    Writers are what make tv shows happen and although I miss watching new episodes of my favorite programs, I stand behind them!  The actors on television would be nothing without the scipts and story lines that these writers work so hard to create.  I do hope it comes to an end soon though - I miss my shows!
