Television fanatics like myself, especially the ones that are allergic to “reality TV,” have to be concerned about the Writers Guild of America strike. And just so you know, while the writers were the first to go out, demanding a bigger cut of profits from residuals and to earn money from Internet streaming of content, the Screen Actors Guild contract runs out mid-2008.
This has been an ugly battle so far, with TV producers trashing the very people that make their jobs possible. It all starts with the writer. Just like the pain that I felt when baseball players were locked out in
1994, the thought that these Hollywood types can’t find a way to keep the cash cow flowing fairly is just ridiculous. For a great take on the whole strike check out this editorial by Entertainment Weekly’s Mark Harris.
I want to see all 16 episodes of Lost this season and all 24 episodes of 24. Heroes is finally getting better so I don’t want to be cut off.

To quote that annoying commercial for a caffeine beverage, “WAKE UP PEOPLE!”
