Thoughts on the Writer's Strike?

As the title says ^. I'm kinda bummed out that they won't be showing anymore episodes of The Office. What do you guys think about this whole thing?

To be honest, I think it pales in comparison to the fact that the dollar is dropping in value and I believe troubled times lay ahead of us. But then again, I don't care much for TV these days.

I usually stay up pretty late and not having any late night talkshows on right now is a real bummer...

Re: Thoughts on the Writer's Strike?

Basically, Hollywood writers feel they're not being compensated for all of the tv shows and 'webisodes' online. So in return, they have decided to quit writing new episodes and what not until something changes.

This about sums it up:

It's not right that they don't get paid for their work, but *shrugs* what are you gonna do?

Silly Hollywood...

I'll start suffering when Grey's Anatomy, Dirty Sexy Money, Private Practice, Desperate Housewives, and Pushing Daisies starts airing reruns...you'll know when I'm dying, I'll be sure to let you all know.

Hmmm...never seen the Office, so I'm not a fan... I am a HUGE fan of Heroes though!!! OMG, if they stopped the series, I would have to go kick some butt...or just kinda cry for a little bit and then kinda forget about it...LOL!

House tonight is a repeat.  The new episodes come out on Tues.

Re: Thoughts on the Writer's Strike?

Yeah, I know, but I love to watch the repeats too! Plus, it takes up the hour of suspense right before Heroes!! LOL!

A lot of shows actually have enough scripts to finish out the season or even film into next. A lot of actors are siding with the writers though and not going back to work until everything is figured out. Late night shows don't have a choice since most of the material is current events based.

I've heard that the tv shows are actually going to start suffering by January...but I dunno...I guess we'll see.
