I never knew Letterman or Leno had writers either. I hope this doesn’t affect BSG, we’ve been waiting for a very long time for the new season to start.

I don’t care about this strike. And I don’t watch TV much and rarely go to movies so this really doesn’t affect me.

It is too bad that a bunch of empty vessels like George Clooney and Tom Hanks get ridiculous amounts of money to recite words that they aren’t clever enough to come up with themselves.

That work stoppage lasted 22 weeks and cost the industry more than $500 million.

Isn’t that about what Tom Hanks makes in. . .oh, two movies?

Hollywood holds a strike, and the rest of the Country roars with laughter !!!

Oh, the anguish. The urgency !!!

Seriously, has anybody ever heard of these shows? The John Doe Talkshow. The Acme Variety Hour.

Oh, and the Diversity !!! All white guys under 30! Yeah, this is tragic indeed.

Does this mean the next Dem debate will be a rerun?

Great line!

With these idiot shows sidelined, maybe more people will start reading books. Maybe they’ll start getting out more and exercising. Maybe they’ll start talking to each other instead of staring at the screen.

I’m still traumatized by that The View clip that was here or at Michelle’s blog yesterday.

The strike is the first walkout by writers since 1988. That work stoppage lasted 22 weeks and cost the industry more than $500 million.

Still waiting for the networks to capitalize on “Biggest Loser” and go with “Biggest Flosser”.

The union released some dollar figures the writers wanted to tap into from the internet etc.

It was in the low hundred millions. That seemed amiss to me.

The studios should fire their negotiators. What a dumb TBing strategy: Uh. Let’s see. We’ll try to cut them out of the other profits to save money but we’ll lose several billion on a long nasty strike.

DI-NO-SAURS on both sides. Where are we, France?

This strike may be the best thing that has happened to the American viewing audience in years. A few months of re-runs of shows like Andy Griffith, Frasier and Everyone Loves Raymond would be wonderful……

Television is typically so horrific that we have considered that when analog is no longer offered, instead of buying a digital, we might just not buy a replacement television.

If it weren’t for Fox it wouldn’t make a bit of difference to me.

I have something to write, “Who Cares?” I mean really WFCs?…is anyone with a three digit IQ’s really going to miss soap operas?..or the View?…or the nightly talk shows? come on…these over paid washed up hacks print out this garbage, but the reality is that it’s just dusted off and rewritten crap..I’ll only miss it when they stop making Law and Order…ok ok..maybe Biggest Loser, but my wife makes me watch it with her..

#44 You are so funny! The Democrats didn’t allow Colbert on the SC ticket because he would get all the votes.
