It's a strike!
Nov. 2nd, 2007 08:15 amYes, the TV Writers Strike is in effect.
Since I don't watch talk shows or soaps, this won't affect me as a viewer until January (assuming it continues). Although I do have to wonder about South Park, given the Parker/Stone policy of writing up until the last minute (is the current half-season scheduled to go past Imaginationland III?).
I don't pretend to know enough about the industry to know who's "right" on the various issues in dispute, although I'm generally inclined to assume that, given any contract between a writer and a corporation, that the writer's the one who's a lot more likely to get screwed.
