Re: Screen Writers Guild Strike?
No more Saturday Night Live after this week
Most shows have Nov/Jan episodes in the can and then no more after that. So LOST and 24 could be hit hard depending on how far they got along. Heroes Origins has already been canceled. 99% of what you see on TV in Feb and on will be reruns/reality tv. And this strike will probably be long unless the AMPTP does an about face. If it gets to Feb then forget about it...at that point the WGA will just hold down till June so they can strike together with SAG. best two sites to read up on it are http://artfulwriter.com/ and http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/

Re: Screen Writers Guild Strike?
How does this effect people that are both writers and actors. I know a few of The Office actors also write scripts for it. Do they just stop writing and keep acting? Seems like a bit of a weird situation.

You can't have a show if there are no writers/scripts. also most of the TV showrunners have said they are striking so that is major because a showrunner does way way more than simply write episodes. Its a big deal esp if this is a long strike which many predict it will be.

[/ QUOTE ] No they don't. Movies yes..TV no they have essentially another months, maybe 2, worth of scripts. So they have no episodes for Jan/Feb on. and you simply can't write them all/shoot them all at once. So TV is FUBAR. Late night shows are FUBAR. The EMMYs/Oscars are kinda FUBAR. Film can be FUBAR cuz there is no re-writing or touch up that can be done.
