Here's a look at where a bunch of TV shows stand at the time of the strike.

And God help us all, here is the possible outcome for Lost: Feb. 2009. NOW I'm pissed.

I see nothing about The Office.
Jay Leno is pretty cool for handing out doughnuts
Eva Longoria handed out pizza and Danny Bonapsycho handed out girlscout cookies.

///I need another break from TF
I just feel sorry for the thousands of ancelary peapole that are going to be affected by this strike. The writers should have it like the writer of a song. Their rights are very protected.
3.2 billion dollars.
Keep your creative types happy, folks.
Still, animation writers are getting screwed.

Now we get to see whether the designers, directors, grips, etc. spit on the writers when they come back because they couldn't get any work during the strike.

Well, they could have worked on reality shows or the features that were still in production because the scripts are done.
Did anyone notice that the provisions of the new deal not only don't benefit the writers of animated content, but
the writers of reality show content as well?

All the astronauts are striking, Beefy, there's no work for you at NASA. Go work at C-SPAN.
I can't tell the difference in the Tonight Show with or without writers.

Ah, but even if the astronauts striked there would still be some on the station that needed support. They maybe could refuse to do any science up there, but they'd still have to work station upkeep and our team would still have to support them.
At any rate, they're all pampered well and would never strike.
From what I understand the DGA and/or SAG may still strike for similar reasons. Perhaps the grips need to unionize (if they haven't already).

IATSE covers them, I believe.
Still, being in a union doesn't protect you from OTHER unions striking and dramatically diminishing your ability to work. I'm not saying the writers shouldn't get what they asked for, I'm just saying that it kinda pisses me off that so many people were put out of work for so few, and there aren't many people who seem to recognize that.
