Writers strike heating up
Goodness gracious me, well none could have predicted this.
It is has not even been a week and the strike has already claimed its first victims.
Which shows are already affected?
Ausiello has this handy list of shows and (oh Lord deep breaths) how many episodes are left
Again Ausiello with scoop that this season of Heroes might end with episode 11
Ellen deGeneres does not support her writers as E Online reports
Office is closed for business, show forerunner Greg Daniels joins the picket line so does Steve Carrell
24 postponed indefinitely as Hercules reports
What are the networks doing?
NBC will lay off non-writing staff next week if Leno does not return, aren’t they nice? Another option guest hosts.
LA Times has this report, people might be out of jobs as early as next week
Apparently Schwarzenegger is negotiating between writers and the execs
Who is on the picket line?
Cast of Ugly Betty on the picket line
Cast of Grey’s on the picket line
If you want to learn more about the reasons behind the strike I would recommend United Hollywood, it has daily reports from the picket line this one was my particular favorite
Also Kung Fu Monkey is a good read, straight from the mouth of a writer
What you can do?
Sign the petition to show support
Stop downloading as wannabetvwriter suggests
