Who bloody cares. Not much on worth watching anyways. Thank God Roy Underhill Norm Abrams Alton Brown Robert Irvine and a few others don't need no stinking writers for their shows.

Yay! Now the networks can replace all the crappy reruns they've played over and over with... crappy new shows!

Good news indeed. I'm glad the restaurants and the businesses catering to the writers will thrive again. When people with talents come together to work, wealth is created --- no one is an island to herself.
I am writing stories too (blogs), hope it gets there someday: myspace.com

Who gives a shit! I have college basketball, the golf channel, and the movie channels and that is all I need.

You guys are so fucking jealous of writers. And your class envy is showing. I am damn glad this strike is over, now I can get back to work...and count my new internet residuals.

So fuck you Morons.

i haven't watched network, serial, sitcom, latenight, or anything hollyweird puts out in many years - it's all garbage.

who cares?

we watch golf, outdoor channel, weather channel and news programs.

quitcher whining.

as far as any movies - they're usually out on dvd shortly after release and can be found at tag sales for a dollar or two.
