Flash Poll: The Writers’ Strike

Published by Jarred on February 6, 2008 in Random. View Comments

As a prelude to a richer feature being developed by Joel, I wanted to throw out a “flash poll” asking for your answer to this question:

How much has your life been affected by the Writers’ Strike?

Are you content with the reruns being aired by the networks?  Have you turned to Netflix for your entertainment?  Or have you walked away from the TV altogether in search of other leisurely pursuits, such as reading, exercising, creating art or music, meditating…?

I never had cable in the first place, so I don’t really feel a change, though I wish I could be heading up to watch The Office in my friends’ apartment tomorrow night.  And though there are a few other reasons it’s not on the air, I am also craving my 24 fix these days.

Anyway… spill your guts.  And feel free to give your opinion on the strike itself, while you’re at it.

    My screenplay about someone living through the writer's strike is going to be so much easier to sell with nobody else writing! As a scab, I'm in favor of it :-P

    In all seriousness, the WGAs are definitely stretching (not breaking) into some new frontiers on the Internet with the way in which they're waging this battle ... but it might help their cause if celebretards like Britney, Paris, and Lindsay could stay out of the headlines and lend a little more press to the writers. Then again, Britney could always hit a picket line with her car ...
