What is your opinion on the writers strike? by Quantum on 01-02-2008 at 11:44 PM

I don't see why all the writers have to do it. They should only do it to crap tv show like *ahem* *ahem*. I want 24!

Looks like skyone wont have it anytime soon. It says nothing on there website and google gives nothing. They had a 24 day yesterday (the whole of season 6) could this be a clue?

Opinions?

Although the consequences of this strike are not enjoyable, what they're asking for is perfectly normal and we've seen several examples of that in the past years. I just hope they get what they deserve by the studios and stopped being treated like they're not worth a dime.

at the moment there isn't a start date for series 7 of 24.  it had initially been put back to January 13th, but that date has now been cancelled.

They've said that they'll start broadcasting if/when the writers strike is resolved so that they can show the series without any kind of prolongued break.

in the mean time:

24 Series 7 Trailer 1 (YouTube)

24 Series 7 Trailer 2 (YouTube)

* albert calms down and gets back to topic.

I haven't really followed the strike honestly, I know it happened and I know a lot of shows have been canceled for it. And although I haven't read of informed myself about the reasons of this, I see most of the actors and animators taking sides by the writers, so I guess everyone seems to agree, soemone's not right by the producers.

On a happier note, David letterman managed to sign a deal, bringing his show and Craig Fergusson's back on air after 2 months of re-runs : makes me thinks it's coming down soon.

Series wouldn't exist without great writers... some writers are true geniuses in what they do, they do deserve more... they don't deserve to be forgotten...

Journeyman has been cancelled by NBC, with or without the writers strike.  It was a gigantic flop.  And we all want Heroes back.

Indeed, most writers are paid on a Salary Basis with royalties, etc. playing into their pay.  Thus the need for a good contract.

RE: What is your opinion on the writers strike? by Shayne on 01-06-2008 at 07:34 AM

Ehh? What was the reason in that lmao. I basically said I see why they're doing it. Lol


RE: What is your opinion on the writers strike? by andrewdodd13 on 01-06-2008 at 10:52 AM

At least Stargate Atlantis is going ahead as scheduled. Gotta love them Canadians.

Also, Torchwood is scheduled to start on the 16th of January... gotta love them English. :P

As for Heroes, and 24... I'm not sure.

Even though they're striking, the writers still do make quite a lot of money, so they can probably survive a pretty long strike.

Heroes had a Season Finale. So they are most likely _not_ coming back when the Writers Strike is over. They said Season 3 will be coming out in March...May? I forgot :D

The last one lasted over 21 weeks for example.  Lets hope that it wont be as bad this time around.

I am one of those people that don't have an opinion on it. ZERO.

maybe its their try to get to fame or something? stupid.

I dont know. They all want to be famous, thats not the way i want to go..

Calilo - Famous! (for kicking family guy off the air because of her damn strike)

^o) Hmm.. what could it be?

Yup. I think they are just trying to get rich and famous.

I would enjoy writing for like the late night show or something. I dont care if people didnt believe me or whatever. they can suck dirty punanee. I know it, my friends would know it.. damn.

quit your friggin whining and get a day job. damn.


RE: What is your opinion on the writers strike? by vaccination on 01-16-2008 at 09:03 AM

They aren't asking for fame =/

They're asking to get payed a little more, which is reasonable imo.
