Welcome to Gaia! ::

I was reading a magazine today, and it was discussing the writers' strike going on in Hollywood. At first I didn't really care, as I don't watch the late-night talk shows that have already been affected. Then I read on to find that if the strike continues, new episodes of House would stop airing in January-February, because the writer for the show is on strike. At this point I don't care what all the writers want. I say GIVE IT TO THEM!

Yeah all we'll be left with next year is crappy reality shows. Ugh.

from what i hear there are about 5 or 6 episodes left ,well 4 or 5 now,
but i'm sure the strike will end soon, hollywood will crash and burn soon if they don't
plus this is fox they're bound to have some underhanded way of getting the writers back.

SERIOUSLY!? What the hell!!

Just give the writers what they want. They'll be happy, and we'll be happy because good tv shows like HOuse will air new stuff again.

Give them what they want already! This is insame! I need House people! And 24 fans are getting pretty mad too.

Same here. crying


Taken from a magazine...

"Tinseltown is in unscripted territory. On November 5, about 12,000 TV and film writers walked off the job, setting in motion a labor dispute that threaters to cripple the entertainment industry for months to come. The wordsmiths' demands? Compensation from networks and studios for online content and increased revenue sharing from DVD sales (the writers who earn an average yearly salary of $62,000, currently make approximately 4 cents for every $20 DVD sold). 'All we're asking is to get a tiny slice of that pie,' explains Office star (and Writes Guild of America member) Rainn Wilson.
May of TV's big names, including Jay Leno, Hugh Laurie and the cast of Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy, have joined the picket lines. 'The writers deserve respect,' Patrick Dempsey says. 'There has to be a deal struck that is fair for everyone.'
In 1988, a writer's strike lasted five months, prompting networks to rearrange the entire fall TV sseason and forcing thousands into unemployment. This time? 'This could go way into 2008,' predicts movie producer Ilyssa Goodman, possibly delaying production on surefire blockbusters such as the Transformers sequel. One way to end things quicly: the intervention of an A-list movie star. Says a Hollywood screenwriter, 'If Tom Hanks came out and said, 'I won't do the Da Vinci Code sequel unless the writes get what they want,' the strike would end tomorrow.'"
