man strikes piss me off. its just a waste of time. i wish the people would just pay them more. it SUCKED ASS when the market strikes were goin on. hope it wont last long

GREED

Greed on the studios' parts. They don't want to give the writers royalties from DVD and online sales, which is completely within their rights to ask for, if you ask me.

I absolutely agree with the writers, but I still don't want them to strike.

Great...just great. An awesome series canned because both parties wont shut the f*ck up about money. How much are they being paid ?

Well, the strike is on.

"Wah wah wah , we want more money"

Fans : Shut the f*ck up and write more, then you'll get more money !

Agreed.

it hurts to see TV truncated because of the strike, but their demand is legitimate. hopefully the studios will come to their senses and the strike is over quickly... or we could be on hold for another 5 months like the last strike in the 80's

What happened in the 80's when this happened ? No quality TV at all ? Or did the Studios attempt to write their own versions ?

Dunno all I know it's it lasted 22 weeks...

WTF? I hate production company's because all they do is jack up the prices on everything and now this.

The people that actually work get fu@ked over.

To me it seems to be a mostly justified strike as well. I mean, our anger over it juswt shows how valuable the writers really are.
