I hate the strike. I have to spend spare time on a celebrity and millionaire dating site named “Marry Millionaire… com” since I can not watch my favorite shows.
im sorry, but could you possibly, i don’t know, do something constructive like go outside, exercise, play sports, hang out with friends, read a book, or find a hobby? people are making such a big deal about this writers strike, when it’s really not. It’s a shame to see how much america revolves around telivision.

The writers make so little of the money and provide such a big part of the entertainment, that it’s surprising this hasn’t happened in general. I mean, the *actors* get a large chunk… but the writers put the words in their mouths (except Robin Williams of course). Way to go with being willing to make deals with those willing to come to the table!

Heheh! I guess the WGA is coming to realize HOW LITTLE they are needed by the American public, and the WGA is starting to crawl on their knees back to create deals with those who will still have them… LOL

All these separate deals with production companies who are, for the most part, not directly involved with the union’s supposed main concern, the new media, are only examples of the WGA buying time, hoping that the threat of cancelling the Oscars will will save the day for them. If the Oscars get dumped, or turned into a Globes-like press conference, it’s game-over.

Yeah, I agree with those that said a Bad Robot/ABC deal would be nice. I want the full season of Lost!

I wonder about separate deals. They may undermind the whole in the end.
I say no deal unless everyone deals.

Can EW please explain how the WGA can make individual deals and not hurt their position? It seems strange that some producers and networks can use writers and others cannot. If they keep this up, certain producers may feel justified in firing current writers and hiring freelancers outside of the union.
I’m completely on the side of the writers, but I’m curious to know how seperate agreements work and not hurt the overall guild.
