Even living in the UK, I still keep up with a lot of US shows, though the overall state of my TV is unlikely to feel the effects for a while given that we're generally about a season behind. I can really sympathise with the writers on this one, scripts make or break a show and I don't think they get enough money or credit for it. Unfortunatly a strike is probably the only way to make the studios take notice of them. However it may also shoot them in the foot, as TV fans, certainly those unaware of exactly why they are striking, are liable to become angry at the writers than the studios. This is, unfortunatly always how these things happen (see numerous teachers, lecturers, firemen, prison officers etc.. strikes) This sucks.

Well this sucks.

Atleast there’s still sports, but I am quickly going to miss my scripted shows. Very. Quickly.

THIS SUCKS... big time!! :( Some of the scripted dramas, which have been in a fight to find and maintain an audience, will most certainly suffer and it will be that much more difficult to find that audiences again. Also, thanks goes out to seat42f for the additional info. Yup, it appears we'll have plenty of time to catch up on all those shows sitting on our DVRs.

On the upside I might finally have time to watch all those DVD Boxsets I keep buying.

Not everyone is going to get EVERYTHING they want, but there has to be a solid middle ground somewhere. Yeah, the industry sure doesn’t seem to care about the half a billion they lost in ‘88.
