Full list of writers strike affected shows

the Networks are not playing around.....I said when this started all it would take would be for one network to stand up to the union and it looks like it is starting to happen

Well, NBC is laying off employees. The new talks can't be going that well.

That's pretty generous of Conan and as much as Jay has done for them, he could've at least done the same.

Jay can't afford to pay his staff out of his own pocket. He's got another dozen vintage cars to buy!

 

[BlackLantern]

Lets look at the reality of the situation. Conan was a writer way back when, so he sympathizes with what those people are going through, but neither he nor anyone else is under any obligation to pay these guys while they are on strike

 

[Wolfwood]

Well looks like he's going to anyways:

And while he may not be obligated to do anything, he's got to do something if he doesn't want to wind up looking like a double talking tightwad in the publics eye. Especially since other late night hosts are protecting their people.

 

[BlackLantern]

except for Carson Daly, who is getting his show back on the air

 

[Wolfwood]

Yeah, but the writers on his show sucked anyways.

i cant imagine the office going down like this . i can see there being bad blood with the network but nbc ould be stupid to let this hit show out of their clutches.

"Journeyman"-Expected to complete 13 of 13 episodes; has not yet received an order for a full season.

It's part of NBC's tactic. They're making the writers responsible for the jobs of everyone else who works in the industry. Unless the writers get back to work, more production assistants, cameramen, and gaffers will lose their jobs.

What nobody's saying is that, as soon as this strike is over, a good many people reapplying for their old jobs will likely get them back. Not necessarily the production assistants, but likely the gaffers and script supervisors.

agreed....NBC is basically saying to the writers "get back to work or you wont have a job to go back to" in any case both Chuck and Life got orders for full seasons. Life is a damn good show

doesnt seem likely.

 

[JP]

After reading the issued statement I must say that the writers are being fairly ridiculous.

 

[lou2099]

Or Brining Back Cancelled Series To Fill Air Time Like They Did In The Last Strike

like Knights of Prosperity.

 

[Nivek]

Why is this such a big issue? This comes down to studio greed, I dont blame what the writers are doing in the least, being an artist myself I have seen the ignorence that bankrollers have. They cant create a damn thing on their own, but they will stiff the creators every damn chance they get to keep their profit margins higher.

 

[BlackLantern]

i think this whole thing is becoming less and less about the actual issue and more about which side blinks first

 

[Nivek]

No, the studios just need to settle this. It's not about what the writers want (which isn't all that crazy sounding to me) as much as the no-talent Corperations dont want to lose their inflated profit margins.

 

[BlackLantern]

the way its looking the studios seem to get that the WGAs' strike coffers arent bottomless and that they think they can outlast the writers...if this strike goes long enough writers have bills and rent to pay......

 

[ROOR]

So does this mean the stuff we heard about it possibly being over before Christmas is just not going to happen? Seriously, this is ridiculous. Pay the writers and get it over with!

 

[bullets]

thats is what im saying , it wouldnt hurt them so bad to come to an agreement . i think the networks are finding ways around it and it is hurting both sides.

Writers propose independent negotiations
By JOHN ROGERS, Associated Press Writer Sun Dec 16, 1:13 AM PST

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Faced with the indefinite suspension of negotiations, the union representing striking Hollywood writers told its members Saturday it would try to deal directly with Hollywood studios and production companies, bypassing the umbrella organization that has been representing them.

The news was welcomed by the company that produces David Letterman's "Late Show," which said it hoped to broker a deal that would put the talk show host and his writers back to work.

Talks broke off Dec. 7 after the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents the studios, insisted it would not bargain further unless the Writers Guild of America dropped proposals that included the authority to unionize writers on reality shows and animation projects.

[BlackLantern]

I'm all for writers dealing with the studios and networks directly......just get rid of the guilds and unions and let people handle their business by themselves

 

[bullets]

yeah all the union does is lead to more strikes.

 

[BlackLantern]

thats is what im saying , it wouldnt hurt them so bad to come to an agreement . i think the networks are finding ways around it and it is hurting both sides.

my opinion is that the networks know that if they give in to the writers without any kind of negotiating that the other guilds will have their hands out for a bigger piece as well......with the sag contract coming to the table soon I really think thats the crux of all this
