Good post. Now I understand the writers strike better. It hasn’t impacted me until today when I found out that 24 is canceled for this year. It’s my only “must see” TV show and the writers have killed it along with your job for the time being and jobs of countless others

The reason you know about your show being canceled isn't because the writers struck it's because they struck during the middle of the production season so that people like you would put pressure on the studios to give in to their demands. Of course, people like me get to go through the holidays without a paycheck we were counting on because the writers knew they had to get maximum impact now.

That's why everyone below-the-line is pissed off and won't ever forget this. They could have done it sooner or later but they did it now and they spout off all sorts of Marxist agitprop about this being a labor struggle. That's bullshit and they know it.

This was about getting a raise not fair wages.

They can suck it and they better never come on the set if they know what's good for them.
