I suspect that the producers and writers are working themselves into a position best described as “who cares?” People are finding alternatives to current TV shows. For me, there’s about 50 years of old TV shows and movies I never got around to renting to keep me entertained.

I think they, the writers, should stay on stike until they’re blue in the face. I tired of all the bad “reality tv shows, game shows, & whatever chap” they try to shove in our (the viewer’s) faces. I haven’t seen hardly any good shows since the 50’s & 60’s. I’m going back to reading good books, PBS, & listening to NPR.

If you read the article about a panel at Sundance, you’ll note that the writers were being called producers at the reality shows. When they walked off, they were fired.

Television and movies have been ruined for many years now, so I don’t believe there anything worth saving anymore. Let them stay on strike! I could care less!

How is it a disgrace? The writers are striking-without pay, by the way-to get fair compensation for their work. Would you call selling your house for lower than its value “greedy?” Or a “disgrace?” Who writes the television that you enjoy? It’s not the producers.

Okay, at first I supported the writers, I thought, yeah give them more money, they do hard work. Now Its a disgrace and their just being greedy. Take a deal and stop ruining the face of television!!

“The WGA refuses to take issues including jurisdiction over reality TV writers off the table in advance, and the producers refuse to negotiate until they do.” This was from another post on EW about what is holding up the talks and I think the most relevant one. The Producers know that they do have alternatives to scripted shows and the WGA does not like that. If individual reality writers wanted to walk off their jobs they could, after all.
