Writers Strike 2023?
- Thread starter genius
- Start date
That was then. Not now.
I know that. I was making the point to people wondering why they didn't get the flack that Drew and others got.
It will also be a lot more difficult to get guests with SAG also on strike. I’ve read there are some episodes of The View that have no guests, they do ‘hot topics’ for an entire hour.
Of course the union was going to object. Her show employs writers who are on strike.
The reason Carson and Letterman were able to return in the 80s was because Carson (who was also executive producer of Letterman's show) reached an independent deal with the Writers' Guild, separate from the Networks. The Guild has thus far declined to do piecemeal deals this year.
maybe, let some shows reach a seperate indie deal with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA so they can continue writing
or they can be like the new season of Phineas and Ferb (they employ unionless writers that are not with the WGA)

There are plenty of TikTok "stars" and YouTube "stars" they could have on the air. Now, I quote "stars" because I think most of them aren't...but what can you do?
That could be true but I’ve read some social media “stars” are reluctant because it could hurt their chances of becoming real “stars” later in tv and film as the union remembers
They’ve used that as December filler long before the strike, also.
That is true, however this time they're going with 4 episodes instead of one or two (two in 2019, one in 2020 and 2021). Looks like December filler and strike filler both.
if we don't stop the strike before reality and game shows go on strike, then all the other guilds of writing and actors around the world go on strike, there's going to be a big gaping screw and all awards will be hosted at home like COVID and this screw will stick until we can't unscrew it
as Team Rocket Said in XY001 "All You'll end up with is reruns"
They're right and in summary, We are all going to be screwed

Time to wean yourself off television, I guess. There's a whole big wide world out there away from the screen. Discover it.
Seriously, this isn't the end of the world.
Nothing is strike-proof, but the, um, reality is reality is a lot more strike-resistant. Game shows that don't depend on WGA writers, likewise. Jeopardy may muddle its way through, much as it did years ago in a similar situation, with recycled and banked clues. Sooner or later the well will run dry and it's going to be more challenging. But that's Jeopardy--many other games can go ahead with minimal to no significant impact.
I'm mostly watching TV Land, Me TV, YouTube, etc. and college football, so it's no major change for me.
It's funny, because the strikes really haven't impacted TV all that much YET, but I still find myself watching less and less TV content these days. The lack of new content might very well be the catalyst that gets me to cut the addiction all together!
Reruns are more entertaining than anything produced today. We aren't going to be screwed. Those in the TV industry will be, though. They'll find out how expendable they are.
The only current shows I watch are 9-1-1 and its companion show 9-1-1 Lonestar. Everything else I watch are reruns that I DVR since I work. Plus as a Walmart employee I get basic Paramount + for free so I can watch my favorite 90s Nickelodeon shows - Clarissa, Doug, and Rugrats. Plus other content they have should I be interested.
i mean the ai is forming a big gaping screw around us, and if these fake excuses of civilization takeover all the shows, we will struggle until there's no unscrewing yep, we're going to be screwed in the future
Writers & Studios are back at the table hope this time there serious and that they stay at the table until the deal gets done that is the only way to get a deal done in my opinion. At some point the TV station groups will demand that Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Clarkson return to do the talk shows or they will be replaced by Byron Allen cheap filler or local news.
