I hope they strike. Who watchers their junk anyway? It would opstop a portion of the propaganda machine.

But I remember a writer’s strike that became the birth of the Reality Show and Survivor was born. How do you put in a TV show w/o writers? Put a bunch of dopes on an island and whack one of them every week- Brilliant! Entertaining low cost TV

So writers - strike and shoot yourself in the foot like the PATCO air traffic controllers

“But I remember a writer’s strike that became the birth of the Reality Show and Survivor was born.”

indeed. plus about 100 other successful “reality” shows since then, a few which are actually interesting, like “Bering Sea Gold”.

In the mean time, 99.9% of scripted shows are stupidly unwatchable, shows like ABP, 2 Broke Girls, and, well, pretty much ALL scripted network shows, actually.
