Is the Hollywood Writers’ Strike a Recipe for Disaster?

I think the debators need to read what Sam, Peg C, and Walter Abbott wrote. I have seen a few well written TV shows this fall, but they are getting fewer and far between. Long ago, I switched to non-scripted television. Before that, I was playing video games.

With that in mind, look what is happening before the strike really has had an impact… The last set of movies are bombing. Fall TV ratings are down. It’s pointless for the WGA and AMPTP to argue with one another over revenue and profit. Both are getting smaller than the mouths they must feed.

But if you must, by all means keep up the strike. There are several new games out this season, and I haven’t even managed to find a Wii yet. And when I feel like literature, there’s always a good book or free ice cream at the blogs.
