Writer's Strike - Posted By slip (slip) on 6th Jan 08 at 5:54pm
I sure hope it ends asap. I'm missing all my favorite TV shows {Cry}

A new revenue policy based on a new formula should definitely be devised for the writers, they deserve that much for the awesome stuff they create.

Comedians don't go on strike so I'm not missing nothing. I barely watch tv except for Comedy Central and the only show that has writers on strike there is South Park I think.

omg yes!! I was so upset that Vol 2 had to be cut down to only 11 eppies {Sad} I am still not sure if vol 3: villains will run in the spring as the next half of s2 or in september as s3. Also Lost now runs only in the spring - I've been waiting like forever for s4!! other shows too. {Sad}

{Smile} I mean that the reason behind the strike is very valid and the writers should get what they deserve. Just that the big corporations should hurry up!

I have all the Family Guy seasons, so I'm not worried about that. {Tongue Out} Other than that, all I watch on TV is movies, and those writers get paid millions, so they aren't on strike. {Tongue Out}

not bothering me a bit. Writers i would think get paid enough to say so. could be wrong. I think its just being dragged out.

The big corporations won't pay them if they don't want to, which is really annoying. Like trying to get blood from a stone {Tongue Out}

Have i heard right that many writers/actors etc will be boycotting the big awards ceremonies too?

They should hold contests or ask for regular people to submit their writing. Gives some writers a break, and they get content of what a fan wants to see, as well a writer they probably can hire cheaper.
