really? I would have thought he would be.

That's OK, writers have got thick skins.

Some of the strikers are going on as if their worlds will fall apart unless they get paid a bit more (I think the current issue is about Internet promotion - of the films they have written). As if writing screenplays is all they can do with no possibility of getting a blue collar job to support themselves while they try and create entertainment.

Though since many of them are part of a money-drenched and horribly commercial system anyway, it stands to reason that they are caught up in the Hollywood way of thinking, what with all that cash flying about.

It's always encouraging when the 'it's not what you know, it's who you know' attitude gets smashed to bits by successful indie productions.

i'm proud of the WGA and hope they hold out (although the TV is going to suck until its over)

So, is it true that BSG may not air?

Cheers. I believe that they have every right to strike. Go for it. Get as much money as you possibly can.

Screw TV. I have Netflix.

My ONLY problem with the Strike... Quite frankly, I'm sick of the news covering it. Just let me know when it's over and what the outcome is. Until then, I'd imaging that there are other things going on in the world...

Hold it - so the 'brains' behind Lost and Family Guy have put these popular series' on hold?

Please keep on striking.

:D

Family Guy's a cartoon, sadly, I doubt it's affected.

Are you saying animated shows do not require writers? :confused:

Seth MacFarlane recently spoke out for the strike in a rally at Fox Studios.

No, it takes longer with animated shows, I know with The Simpsons it takes around 8 months to make an episode. Figured it was the same with Family Guy, and about Seth MacFarlane, I don't watch Family Guy so I wasn't aware.
