Sperm Edwards Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 lol Let them strike. 99% of tv & movie screenplays suck and 100% of all movies are a rip-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Let em strike. Nobody will care. Life will go on. Life will go on, but plenty of people will care. First will be people like me, whose favorite shows are topical, like The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Colbert Report and The Late Show with David Letterman. If the strike continues, prime time shows will go to reruns in a month or two, when the stockpiled scripts run out. Lots more people will start to care, then.

People will find new ways to entertain themselves. Most people wont care. Im sure you can find other ways to fill your head with topical stuff instead of relying on poorly written shows.

Mavrik Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 The only things I'm going to be bummed to miss are the Daily Show and the Colbert Report. Other than that, I could care less whether they're won't be any new shows or movies. Jericho and LOST have already been filmed anyway for this season i think. maybe this will lead people to get away from the tv and...gasp....read a book.
