seems a bit silly to me. It ranks up there with a players strike, actors strike, or blog strike…? The people who are paid so that we might be entertained from time to time decide that they are not making enough money and so their union strikes until someone gives in to them or an agreement can be reached. While this makes some sense…the funny thing is it seems to only hurt the industry. I have not seen anyone hospitalized in the last month because they have not been entertained with new and innovative writing. I am a bit sad that the start of season 7 of 24 has been postponed but I don’t think that this is going to cause me any major grief. I was surprised to hear that the late night shows were some of the first to be canceled because of the strike. I was sure that these guys made that stuff up on the spot…people are paid to write this stuff…is this a joke? Now the awards shows are taking a hit from the strike and are going to have to try something new. So apparently people write the scripts for these shows too. I don’t know about you but this seems like maybe this strike is benefiting me more than I realized. Thanks to the WGA and the studios these writers work at for helping me to realize that I don’t need TV or movies to enjoy life!
