  • It's not really doing anything to me, but the whole point is that it puts strain on the industry and annoys everyone ; ) that way they hope to get the results they're looking for.
  • The American film industry in generals tends to be pretty annoying. To hell with Michael Bay.
  • I don't understand why they can't just say to hell with them all and go find some new, non-union talent. I know they problem have a contract with a writers union, but in times like this when the stirke is hurting their business couldn't they call the contract void?
  • Personally, I'm with the writers. I hope that they hold out and get what they are asking for. Less new stuff on TV means more time to do other things - like read a book in the evening, or playing games instead of gawping at the TV all night!
  • It annoys me the writers aren't getting what I think they deserve for their work. If it means less TV- OH NO!!! Whatever shall we do?! Haven't had cable- or even network- TV for going on three years now and haven't missed it a bit. When I feel like tv, I throw in a DVD. Works just as well.
  • It's not just NBC, it's writers across the board. I see them every day here with their signs, and I've even seen some famous people. What they are asking for is reasonable, in my view, but it does suck having no good shows on TV.
  • Why can't the studios or distribution people or WHOEVER it is who won't pony up and pay these guys what they rightly deserve just pull their thumbs out of their butts and GIVE IN. PAY THE WRITERS, DAMNIT! I WANT THE OFFICE BACK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I refuse to watch reality TV (well, except for the Amazing Race. I love me some Amazing Race) so my choices are severely limited. And that makes me grumpy.Harumph.
  • It isn't just NBC. It is writers everywhere. And everyone has the right to want better pay. It's just entertainment, it's not anything important like firemen or police.
