Dammit when Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives stop showing new episodes in December due to no new scripts, I'll only have video games, the Internet, netflix, disneyland, the movies, live theatre, a Bjork concert, holiday shopping and my friends with benefits to turn to for entertainment. Oh the humanity!

My condolences Cherny

I need these occasional breaks in production to catch up on old episodes.

I think the writers' guild is going to get creamed. TV and moovie execs have plenty of options, even if they have to put some shows out to pasture. There's no telling what the cattle drag in as cheap, unscripted replacement mooterial. I don't expect the union will be able to milk them for much of anything.

Wait, what thread is this?

Nope, the Writers are going to come out way ahead. Showrunners are showing unanticipated support, in hopes of ending the strike quickly by shutting down production a lot faster than was expected.

If that support continues beyond the token stage, there will be no new tv shows within a few short weeks. The Producers Alliance cannot hope to end the strike even on the terms the Guild would have settled for beforethe strike.

I concurd.

Who needs writers anyway? There's plenty of good material right here on LoT.
