I am sick of this strike I don't watch much TV but there are a few select shows I like to watch:
Namely Prison Break and The Office, and I want them back dammit!

 

lol. Im not much for tv either, but i feel for the writers. Hope they get what they need soon

 

ya same here, I just want my damn shows back, haha

 

most of television is dull, boring, lame, etc. etc. i stick to my motorsports, gaming, and HD channels and this strike doesnt even effect me..

 

well except for sports and The Shield which I don't think has been affected since its the off season, thats the extent of my TV viewing

 

i'm sick of the reruns! why are they striking? i know it's been a while but i don't even know why they're on strike

 

i just want some new family guy and south park....


i could be having the worst day of my life and turn one of those on and it automatically puts smile on my face...

 

Has to do with residual payments. When your performance is re-played, you are entitled to a small royalty payment. I am a Screen Actors Guild member and get residuals for the on-screen performance of puppets and FX in movies and commercials I work on.

They are trying to not pay residuals for "new technologies" such as internet downloads and streaming video. If Spiderman 3 or AVP-R (movies I worked in) are downloaded, streamed or otherwise delivered via "new technologies", they do not want to pay us...even though it is the same as a DVD rental. pay per view or broadcast TV play which they are obligated to pay us for. The studios just want to make even more money off the backs of those of us who do the actual work.

If the writers cave in, our SAG contract is due up in May and they have a point of leverage to deny or minimize our payments also.

I back the writers. Strike until they stop trying to cheat us out of residuals. But I hope they can settle before the Oscars.

 

All I want is 24 to come back

 

This isht worked out pretty well for Kiefer, huh? He gets out of jail tomorrow and he hasn't missed a thing because of the writers' strike. Jack Bauer is still a cool guy in my book. Can't wait to see him start kicking some more terrorist áss.

 

i miss watching new episodes of CSI (vegas, miami, new york)
