Writers on Strike

[ketchupnmustard]

What does the picket line at a writers strike look like? Is it just a bunch a people walking around NOT chanting clever slogans because they're on strike and refuse to come up with them. Are they also holding up blank signs for the same reason?

Kind of like a bunch of mimes or something?

Come on! Hogan's Heroes in the top 10?

Apparently they sell crack out of the vending machines at TV Guide...

OK, you take away man card points from me weekly. What are you doing with them? Better not be giving them to someone else. Will I ever get them back?

I know she has a video because I watch VH1 every morning while I get ready and her crap video came on last week. And yes, she was ugly.

you can have your man-card back for 200,000 rep points a 250 CyCash.

maybe Jeremy should put "man-points" up too, Bos would be negative faster than any lady on the board.

The good news is that SNL writers are also on strike.

As long as the entire season of 24 has already been written, I am happy! That is the show I am looking forward to the most.

Just heard on The Insider that they only have 8 or 9 of the 24 written. They don't like to have too many episodes finished so they can develop the story line as it goes.

Hogan's Heroes was awesome! I'm not sure how they got all that crap in there, but I'm willing to suspend my disbelief for that.

Hollywood writers suck. They really just need to start turning non-fiction into movies, because they haven't had a good idea in a long time. I used to see at least three or four great movies a year. Now I am happy with one. All they can do is rehash stuff that used to be good.

Is this the same strike keeping the Colbert Report off air? Because I'm starting to get pi##ed

[JHudd]

Yes it is.

Most TV shows will probably cut their seasons in half.

This is the thing I'm most excited about.

Honestly, though, I don't think I've watched a network TV show other than "The Office" since Arrested Development went off the air.

I cannot think of one strike that will affect me less than this one. I really think that you could hire an office full of monkies and give them a typewriter and come up with more compelling TV than the garbage that passes for entertainment on network TV.

edit: in fact, that would be a great idea for a TV show. Just film monkies writing screenplays and ******* for TV shows.

I know, I just read that they are filming an alternate ending for Heroes in case they dont have writers. The season could end abruptly this winter.

I am broken.

This is actually good news to me. A local morning radio show here in Phx was reporting that they were planning on this being final episode of the entire series. Although morning radio shows are usually known for their accurate reporting , I suspect they were misinformed. At least I hope so.

BTW, is there something wrong with me if I find myself rooting for Sylar?

Wow, maybe this will cause a surge in reading. Anyone want to start a book club?

Woah Woah Woah man. Let's not be hasty or do anything drastic. Pull yourself together man!!!
