You've probably heard this by now, but on Monday the Writer's Guild of America (WGA) went on strike. "Big whoop," you say, "what good are writers, anyway?" Well friends, without these writers, we are utterly f%&#ed. Until their demands are met, or some kind of deal is struck, the production of scripts for nearly all television programming comes to an abrupt halt. Let's see what that means for us:
Heroes - A shortened season of 10-15 episodes.
House - Another shortened season.
Pushing Daisies - A shortened season, not to mention the threat of cancellation (due to the fact that this is the show's premier season.
The Office - Even Steve Carell is on strike. No more Office this year. Dammit Steve, you are no longer in my High Five! (j/k man, we're cool)
Lost - Season could be cut in half (as it isn't scheduled to begin until February, not much work has been done on it)
24- Probably won't air this year at all, due to the necessity of 24 episodes.
Luckily, South Park and The Simpsons remain largely unaffected by this blasphemy. And blasphemy it is.
An episode centred on Guitar Hero!? Sweet.I don't like to take sides on this issue, as I respect the writers' demands, especially those who aren't making 6 figure salaries. However, no TV and no beer make HOMER GO CRAZY!
Obviously, I'm quite upset that my TV viewing will be cut short this year. Very upset. My only hope is that these Hollywood assholes can make a deal that satisfies everyone as soon as possible, so my weekly viewings can continue as undisturbed. DAMMIT, TV IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS EDUCATION! GIMME MY BOOB TUBE!!!
If this lasts long enough, movies will even be affected. Pray to God it doesn't go that far.

but couldnt they just extened the seasons? into summer?
hell Bleach runs all year long, its technicaly one giant 147-episode (as of today) season
and i saw last weeks poll, was too lazy to vote though
As the animation process takes a long time, scripts for the Simpsons are written months in advance. In fact, I believe all 22 of this season's episodes are already written.
South Park, on the other hand, is a non-union show. I think Matt Stone and Trey Parker do most, if not all the writing for south park, anyway.
you can change your vote :P
everyone vote chase likes men!
