So, how about them Hollywood writers going on strike, forcing those who still watch television to watch re-runs.
All of the shows I watch have been new so far, so I don't really care about the strike.
Why are they on strike again?
The writers are sick of working their fingers to the bone for scrapings while fat cats holding the top positions of studios make millions from their work.
Oh. Good thing the creators of South Park are also the writers... and the voice actors...

This explains the whole issue in great detail. Apparently writers are seriously getting screwed to no end, and executives of the big studios are trying to downplay the blame as if the writers are being greedy when in actuality it looks quite the other way around. When ever you pay for a show, 1/3 of a penny for every dollar goes to the writers. However, when you pay for a show with Itunes or through the internet, of the 2.99 you paid for 1/3 of every dollar doesn't go to the writers. As it turns out, the writers get NOTHING. They want their 1/3 penny per episode like they've always had with everything else, but the executives aren't budging... What is this? the early 1900's again? **** you rich executives. Spin the media all you want, the writers are right about this ****.
Wow. Didn't realize that the writers got screwed so badly. **** sucks. ;(
I suppose the industry is going to come to a near grinding halt, which means neither party will make much of a profit. The only question is who caves in first?
10 bucks says we are going to see a massive amounts of reality and game shows soon!
I radther keep my 10 bucks :D
I wouldn't be surprised if that happened. Whatever happens I hope the writers get rewarded and the top officials pay up.
As if they don't make enough money anyways, they have an easy job compared to middle class citizens :(.
I believe the strikes over. I haven't heard anything on the news about it, and I believe there are new episodes of the Colbert Report and the Daily Show. The writers for both shows went on strike as well.
If I don't get my Heroes... :mad2:
I hear Heroes is a good show. I'd watch it, but I completely missed the first season.
I've been affected for the first time so far by this strike. They're cutting Dexter short :( Figures when I finally get into the show it has to end early.
good thing i don't watch TV. and when I do, it's always on the History channel lol
Oh man, I always hate people who boast the fact that they don't watch TV. You know what I mean?
"I'm better than you TV watchers, I read books. You can't do both since they're complete opposites."
Something like that?
oh yes, because I was so boasting up there
actually, I just have better things to do than watch TV. you know...school. i'll watch it during the summer sometimes, but its just not all that entertaining. video games are much more interesting than TV.
T.V is far better than school.
opinion =P
my courses are very interesting.
the only show I really like is Whose Line Is It Anyway. And seeing as how that's an Improv show I dont think it'd be affected by the strike
um, Zswordflame, that's really uncalled for.
and if you're going to insult someone's intelligence, at least sounds smart yourself...
u gais r dum, teh vay es pad.
