Good for them, even if they're still getting screwed (albeit a lot less). |

They'd have to get paid first.  |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2001 Location: berkeley, ca | | | the tvsquad blog has been keeping track of the strike, and from what i read today about it, it seems that many writers aren't very happy with the terms of the deal that the union leaders want to agree to.
but it definitely seems like the writers don't quite have the leverage in this situation. i have no idea what the actual statistics are, but it appeared to me that there was only a manageable drop in content, especially since the late night talk shows returned to air. the only show that i really miss is "the office," which got royally screwed by the strike. the other shows that are on my radar suffered significantly less. |

And my only other disappointment, Metalocalypse, can be blamed on an American tour. Which, I must say, is an AWESOME reason to delay production. |

Although the new format is 8 + 8 right? I heard that's how they're going to do it in the remaining years. |

eta: my tv watching got royally screwed. heroes, the office, 30 rock, and (possibly) lost. it appears to be over now though. which means they can get started on the arrested development movie!
