Big deal!

There is not Star Trek in production, so I don’t think I will be much affected.

Raise your hand if you’ll miss anything besides 24 and The Shield. It’s mainly crap these days. Good riddance.

Maybe now America will have time to read good books and have stimulating conversations with their family members.

May the strike last 100 years. TV, once half way good, is now horrible.

[Not A Snowbird]

A producer of the hit ABC show "Desperate Housewives" says the show will stop production because it has run out of scripts due to the writers strike.

Best news I've heard all week.

[Keith]

they talk like this is a BAD thing...

[Qwinn]

Call me if Heroes or Lost or shows by the Sci Fi Channel are affected.

I don’t really watch anything else.

Islam despises Hollywood and all that it stands for. I may have to agree...

I finally found an area that Islam & I agree on.

[Digger]

Maybe somebody can write a script starring a white heterosexual Dad who happens tp be a good role model... Nah, too controversial..

Good one.

What is wrong with CSI? That is one of the few good shows on TV!! That and Law & Order! If it were not for those two shows, I would have nothing to watch!

Trust me. There is live w/o these 2 shows. Try it for awhile. You will be convinced.

Good post. The kooks get the press, but the craftsmen and women do the heavy lifting. If the producers would get serious, a deal could be made in a very short time. The WGA negotiating committee has done its homework. I’m optimistic that a compromise will be found before Christmas.

One can only hope that all the CSIs go off the air. What a waste of electricity!

I have to admit that I haven't seen the original CSI in the last few years, but it was my favorite TV show for the first 3 or 4 season. I never got into the others, especially CSI Miami, where David Caruso spends all his time playing David Caruso trying to act sincere.

I thought “Rome” was one of the best series I’ve ever seen on television. A worthy companion to “I, Claudius.”

I’m with you Always a Marine; I simply can’t see a downside to this. Maybe they will do us all a favor and NEVER come back! I told their website as much this morning. Strangely enough, I haven’t got a response!
If Americans weren’t so stupid they would’ve tuned these clowns out a long time ago! Julie Loogie Dreyfus ought to kiss my a*s*#!

You have a call on line 2. :) Heroes is probably going to be done for the season after four more episodes, and some Lost bigwig said that they’ll probably run a total of 8 episodes this season. My favorite shows—Friday Night Lights and Chuck—will probably be permanent casualties of this strike.

[Rastus]

How did it compare to Caligula? ;=)

[VeniVidiVici]

"We write the story-a, Eva Longoria," about 30 strikers chanted, referring to one star of the hit ABC show.

Reading this, I think they are making a grave mistake by striking.

One thing left out of the article is what are they striking for? More quill pens? Hand exercises every 22.5 minutes? A safe working environment (a strap to go across the high-chair seat?)

[durasell]

Yeah, the movie business is mostly craft type jobs, some of them technical and some physical labor. The creative people make up a relatively small percentage.

[Mr. Lucky]

Wouldn't it be awful if the networks decided to run old episodes of The Jack Benny Show or Burns and Allen? I could actually watch TV with my wife and not be embarrassed.

[karnage]

Oh ho - admitting you’ve seen Caligula?! How bold and impudent!

[Rastus]

I’ve only seen a few select scenes. Heh.
