I myself am not looking forward to any new reality tv shows or reruns. I'll be looking for some new hobbies to pass the time during this strike. But if we survive this one, I think we can expect another to follow next year. With the SAG contract up next year, it's no wonder so many of the actors are out picketing. I'm very interested to know what the average American thinks of the strike. http://redlightnaps.wordpress.com/2007/11/08/wga-strike/ Nice article.

But a season with ONLY reality TV? Shooooooot me now. Youtube would probably be better. (But I'm sure most people wouldn't admit that it's a guilty pleasure to watch "My Sweet Sixteen") Wow that’s really interesting … writers on strike … highly underestimated in my opinion.

I can understand why debates that include hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars can be upsetting to regular schmoes like you and me. Still, the entertainment industry is still a very lucrative cash cow -- one that's evolved steadily over the past 50 years. As with most capitalistic structures, Hollywood is comprised of a majority of workers who receive X-amount of dollars and a minority of decision-makers who receive Y-amount of dollars. Some believe that the decision-makers receive a disproportionate amount of the profit from the business. If nothing else, we can look at this as an exercise of potential justice. Writers, directors, et al are sort of playing the underdog in this fight, and a lot of people want to see them succeed. Thanks for posting your thoughts! Hi Mark L.!

Think about Disney. Mostly all the "princess" stories all have single fathers and no mothers. I guess television is trying to reflect on our society. These are all good points. Think about Disney.

My dream job is writing for television and film, so I've studied "the craft" since I was young. The TiVo's been taking a bit of a breather, now that I know which shows are really worth my time, but premiere week was a bit insane. :) Well, hello shaqfan! :D Yeah, I have watched a lot of television in my day.
