Well it’s official. The Writers Guild has gone on Strike. If you love reality television you will not have to worry about anything changing. If you don’t I highly recommend you begin to appreciate it or go buy some of your favorite television shows on DVD because otherwise you might be in trouble.
While some things like soap operas are set to suffer the worst, dramas like Grey’s Anatomy will not be that well off either. According to Patrick Dempsey, (McDreamy) on Grey’s Anatomy, the show is set through Christmas, but from there they might be ending the season early and unplanned. Most shows are going to be in a similar predicament. In fact, only one show may come out unscathed, permitting the strike doesn’t last for years. Lost is not due to begin until February. When it does, it already has 8 fresh episodes written, six of which have already been filmed.
The writers are set to picket 14 major studios today. They are striking for larger DVD profits and added revenue from film distribution and television shows that are offered on the Internet.
