Writer's Strike

I think GB is right and the joyfulness is a bit premature. This is the latest news I can find...doesn't sound like they reached an agreement.
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 29 — Striking screenwriters on Thursday night dismissed a new set of proposals from producers as “a massive rollback,” and called on their members to continue their walkout with fresh resolve despite a plan to continue talks on Tuesday.

Yeah, I didn't hear anything on the news about it yesterday, so I don't think it happened. I live in L.A., so the writer's strike is big news here.
 
It was on the an Aussie news program about the continuing writers strike, that'll teach me to listen to the American news programs.

Hollywood wouldn't be taking down the networks, because Hollywood includes the Studios. It'd be the writers, actors, and directors taking down mostly the studios, (networks can still air reality TV or BBC-productions) and below-the-line people like camera-men, catering, hair- and make-up, who are all out of jobs and can't afford their mortgages any more.

Taking down the networks would even more severely kill us faithful viewers making us wait even longer for our favorite shows... would it not lol... But then we'd probably get to see better shows afterwards :lmao: but still... I don't want that^ to happen... should I ? :smiliehom

The podcast show 'Joss'd' has some cool audio interviews with the actors and the writers. And in related coverage, LAist has a "Mutant Enemy Day" photo essay which features some very pretty people.

Edit - I haven't been able to check out all the links that this newsbot post leads to as I'm at work but I thought there was enough interesting stuff (particularly the ME photo essay) here to justify merging it into the WGA strike thread.
