Hollywood writers may go on yet another strike, which would put thousands of crews and actors out of work.

I can eat a big breakfast and crap better material than these hackneyed dolts produce. That they get paid at all for their dreck is a crime.

Strike. Please. But only for the next decade or so ...

I predicted that when they went on strike in late 2007-early 2008 that TV would never recover, and I was right. This will kill it for good.

Too many writers? So glad the Dems aren’t in control anymore or they would create an Entitlement for the Writers Guild of America, so no writers will go unpaid. Only kidding about the Dems.......maybe.

OH NO!!! Who will bring us such value as threesomes with little kids, little boys wearing bondage ball-gags, or little kids coming out as transgendered? Who will entertain us?

Robots programmed with random number generators or chimps with Etch-O-Sketches would produce better material than the current crop of “writers.”

Considering that a person who writes for Hollywood makes about 1% of the jerks who act in the show, I can’t believe anybody does it for a living.

What will the lamestream media news organizations do without their fiction writers?

A writers strike could be a big win for PRESIDENT Trump. Without writers, those wacked out Hollywood celebrities running around shooting off their big mouths won’t know what to say.

With scripted television booming — 455 series this season, more than double the number six years ago

A hundred channels and nothing on...

We only have cable again after many years, because internet + TV was way cheaper than internet alone.

They have to rig it so disinterested people will subscribe to the propaganda and hopefully watch.

No thanks, not the least bit lured. I watched CSPAN for the inauguration and related events, and then again for the President's speech to Congress some few weeks ago.

I suppose the TV might have entertainment value if the media covered the fall of its own depraved Establishment, but I'm not holding my breath.

Who watches network TV dramas or comedies anymore?

All the action is on Amazon and Netflix and the like producing their own series ... plus lots of series produced in the UK etc. Not to mention all the documentaries available.

Te Weekend (AKA Abel something or other) made a gazillion dollars posting tunes he made with Garage Band software onto YouTube.

There are hundreds of thousands of hungry would be writers, producers, musicians, actors bypassing Hollywood and crowdfunding their own projects as we speak. Hollywood is a zombie, it just has no self awareness that it has died, and many of its fans still look to it out of habit, but all the movement does nothing to conceal the stink of putrefaction.

Actors can make a tremendous amount per episode yet cannot speak if not for the writer who is paid a pittance in comparison.

Will Hollywood Writers Go on Strike?

Will anyone care if they do?

I assure you, it will affect me not one whit.

The crap they churn out is not worthy of the label "writing", it is more properly compared to a bodily function.

I really do not care.
