Here in Australia the message gets watered down due to the time it takes to receive new shows. We need to realise that unless the negotiations are successful for the writers everybody loses further down the track. thanks for posting the logo.

I just read this over at Deadline Hollywood Daily. Send pencils to the studios in support of the writers of your favorite shows.

Simple as that. I hope they figure that out sooner rather than later. Without writers, the rest of them don’t have a product to sell. Simple as that.

The Guild has to make a stand because people are increasingly turning to DVDs and downloads. You can imagine a time in the not too distant future where individuals will go on line and order what TV they want for the week and at what time. It will download onto a computer in the TV (like a Tivo) and we'll watch at will. We can't change new media- but we can insist that writers earn their well deserved piece of the pie. Well stated.

As someone who has friends out walking the strike lines in California, it's great to find bloggers (and not fake industry rat-rags) posting in support. Awesome post.

I hope the network heads pull their heads out soon. Probably too much to hope for, but I'm having bad flashbacks to Moonlighting during the writer's strike in the '80s.

Yup, I'm in NY, just south of Buffalo. Like I said to a friend this morning, it's never a good morning when the first thing you hear when you turn on the tv is the weather guy on CNN talking about the snow in your county. It only gets worse when the Weather Channel desides to send a crew out this way - that's a really really bad sign. Okay, I’ll answer your blog question here too.
