The writer's guild votes on Tuesday on whether to end the strike. Click here for the story.

Part me hopes this doesn't go through. I really sounds like the studios are starting to get antsy. As much as I want television and films to be safe, I think those hard working writers deserve their f**king money. I say sweat these f**king CEOs for all they're worth. Say no, vote no, and give it two more months. You'll have them all eating out of your f**king hands.

In either case though, I won't be terribly upset. It would be really nice to have more new episodes of House.

Hm, I think a lot of people have discovered life and the joy of re-runs since the strike began. I'm only complaining because the weather is crappy and I could go for some new episodes of shows. Too bad the strike wasn't during nice weather, because then I wouldn't care.

Yeah I agree I think the writer's should hold out longer. Without the writers the wouldn't be any of the top T.V. shows now and T.V. would just be worse than it is now. They deserve more.

My history teacher was telling me that the coperations are giving them 0.7% (or around) of the profit made off of T.V. shows on the internet. Sure doesn't seem like a lot. blink.gif

Those numbers sound like f**king shit. Poor writers.
