writers strike

i wish this would end already. my fave shows are all pretty much at their fall finales and i cant handle reality tv for the rest of the season.

:(

did you know that tivo is coming to canada finally? i never thought i'd be the kind of person to invest in a big tv, but i think i might get like a giant fucking tv.

with tivo, i might never leave my house.
want to buy my tv so i can buy a bigger one?

damnit.

[robyn]

If paying $17/month for the Tivo name is worth it to you, grab the Tivo instead of a Shaw box.

house was a repeat! noooo :(

[Revolver]

anyway,back to the topic of the strike, im a REALLY REAAAALY big fan of latenite tv.

i enjoy watching the oldschool leno episodes eventhough i despise leno. i just like to watch the production style from that era.

my family has strong links in show-buisness. so I AM IN FULL SUPPORT OF THE WRITERS DURING THIS STRIKE.

too many scumbag investors(psuedo wanabe producers) fuck writers out of royalties and rights all the time.

its about time the writers become more vocal.

my brother is a screen writer, without them WE WONT HAVE ANY MATERIAL TO TALK ABOUT AT THE WATERCOOLER OR WORDS FOR PRETTY DUMB PEOPLE TO SAY!!!!

support the writers!

Since the only thing thats going to be on is reruns of the same shows , its possible people are going to ( if not already ) get bored and find something else to do. Maybe it will encourage that large population of sedentary people to get off their butts and do something a little bit more active , like getting outside , taking up a hobby...sitting their asses on the internet instead? Lol...

Maybe its just a huge hoax and the government is paying them off to stop producing more televised shows , so that way people will get out more and live a healthier life!!!!! ( yea right..I fully know thats never nor not happening )....

Anyway .... I think we'll all survive with out anymore garbage on TV being produced. There's enough of it on these days as it is , we really dont need much more.

no,

its a general strike for all writers in the union wich is basically everything mainstream. not just tv. but tv is hit first cause movie studios purchase,shelve and stockpile scripts to use at their whim unless otherwise noted in the contract.

if the strike gose on into the years plus 2 were gonna see some horrid films come down the line lol...

if this was a directors guild strike it would of been over before it began
