Writer's Strike

[Mitch]

What do you guys think about the writer's strike? I think it is quite ridiculous, somewhat.
Most of those writers on strike are complaining that they 6 figure salary is too low. I think they should be working harder on that salary, not staying on strike. But the reason I can see them being on strike is that they have enough from their 6 figure salaries to stay on strike for a while.
However, I do feel a little bad for those writers not making much, all these famous writers (the ones with the 6 figure salaries) are complaining and shining in the light, while some other writers and out in the cold.

What are your thoughts?

It's over. Luckily the one bit of good TV in America was unaffected.

Jericho ftw.

EDIT: Didn't see the other thread about it ending, sorry.

Well seeing that most of the shows are terrible today, 6 figures is a pretty dang good salary for the work they do. I thought with the strike going on maybe some new shows would come out.

Tons of new shows came out, all reality/game show though.

The moment of truth
The power of 10
Amnesia

Just to name a few.

My favorite show, unfortunately discontinued, is Arrested Development. However, after it was cancelled, I found myself not watching television for stretches of months at a time. It's a waste of time.
