It really seems inevitable that a strike is looming here come this spring. If it happens it will be a very scary time.

Remember the late 80's?
At least then, they didn't have reality shows and writers were needed.

Posted: 7/18/07 at 9:18pmYea, it wouldn't be a big thing because everything on TV today is real stuff. I was just complaining an hour ago how everything is either a big money game show or some kind of competition with three judges. Commercial breaks have promos for shows of the same categories premiering soon. I wonder if TV watchers would even notice if there was any kind of strike!

then you have to fight for what you want and stand for what you believe
(and, hey, nowadays you probably won't get gassed!)
here's a little inspiration:

Posted: 7/19/07 at 7:46amSome reality shows do have writers. It would really kill the late night talk shows

Posted: 7/19/07 at 8:05amLook on the bright side, Dame, it may help the acting community practice their improv.
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

Posted: 7/19/07 at 9:16amWell yeah, it would be a HUGE deal for those who fall on the negative side, and I would hate to see it happen. I guess I was focusing more on the American public. I would hate to see so many people out of work.
