Several years ago there was a writer-s strike. This was the beginning of reality TV, which in theory did not require a writer. The writer-s guild -won.-, keeping prices outrageously high and imposing onerous requirements on the users of their services. They also raised the bar to entry for new writers ensuring the guild-s eventual extinction. The reason we no longer have variety shows like Carol Burnette is nobody can afford them. The Writer-s Guild has destroyed TV and itself.

Thank you for that information.

Now there are self-serving “Awards” shows.

And watching Reality TV is like driving by a car wreak.
