Ok, then why did you post here?

I can't wait for the new Heroes myself.

I don't care either,

And we post here because we have an opinion too, albeit one that differs from yours.

Hater :|

Not caring about something isn't an opinion. If you guys truly didn't care, you wouldn't have entered the thread. You're supposed to reply to the threads you *are* interested in the topic being discussed, and/or have an opinion. That's how it works. Just posting in a thread saying you don't care about the topic is stupid. If I replied to every thread I didn't care about, I'd have an insane amount of posts, it would just be a waste of time.

As a result of studio cutbacks, however, many of the writers who went on strike are unlikely to return to the same big-money contracts they'd had as individuals with the studios, Eisner said.

Serves em right the stupid fucks ... thats what happens when you get greedy.

The writers are the greedy ones? I guess it depends on how you see it...

I haven't seen anywhere else yet that the strike is over. Only that report in the OP.

You're the stupid fuck. What's the percentage of the major media company's revenue they were asking for again? (I'll give you a hint - less than 1.) How many cents is 8 divided 4-8 ways? (Hint - no more than 2) What's the cost of running episodes online? (Hint - Not enough that the companies aren't still taking home half a billion after all is said and done.) What percentage of total revenue does the media make up in the parent corporations, movies and TV combined? (Hint - No more than 8.)

The main reason I'm glad it's over is because I'm tired of jackasses like you making asinine and baseless comments like the one above. The fact that you called the writers greedy is absolutely ridiculous and ironic when you consider the true statistics. Learn your information.

Wow ... hit a nerve there huh ? :lips:


Considering it seems many of said writers will be making less money under the new deal then they were before walking out its hard to see how the decision to strike could be considered a smart one ... I thought the whole point of a strike was to make more money.

I will however concede one point ... you are correct in that the studios are the more greedy but somhow I can't work up a whole lot of sympathy for either side in this situation & I think both ultimately screwed themselves.

good. give us a complete season of Lost!

Lost was written before the writers strike. So even if it wasnt over it would still have a full season.

I thought they had only 8 episodes written?

You are correct. Lost hasn't been finished. They just decided to air what they had so far hoping the writers strike would end before the end of the season.

now to hope they go back to Hawaii to film more episodes.

yup
the future is the net and stuff. if they continued with their current deal of squat they'd get shafted pretty bad in the long run.
as for salaries, thats how it works. half of wga is out of work at any time anyways. well thinkn about it, very few are lucky enough to be on something like the simpsons that lasts forever 5 year job..then u get kicked to the curb if you are lucky. much less if not.

PC++? I watch everything on DVD, so it didn't affect me much.

Agreed. Someone has to pay the price for canceling the new '24'. The writers got what was coming to them, as do most greedy unions (UAW anyone?).

Finally, let's see Heroes back on TV...WOOOOOO!!!

http://www.cnbc.com/id/23057002

A deal has been struck between the major media companies and the Writers Guild of America to end the writers' strike, former Walt Disney chief executive Michael Eisner revealed on CNBC.

"It's over," Eisner said. "They made the deal, they shook hands on the deal. It's going on Saturday to the writers in general."

Eisner, speaking live on CNBC's "Fast Money," seemed to hesitate initially about whether it was possible that the writers could still reject the agreement, but finally suggested the deal's acceptance was inevitable.

"A deal has been made, and they'll be back to work very soon," Eisner said, adding, "I know a deal's been made. I know it's over."

Eisner did not elaborate on terms of the agreement. He said he expects most of the media companies affected by the strike to have "small" write-downs as a result of the deal. Eisner said the deal was struck last Friday.

As a result of studio cutbacks, however, many of the writers who went on strike are unlikely to return to the same big-money contracts they'd had as individuals with the studios, Eisner said.

wait.. whats the point of the group contract if they had individual contracts in the 1st place?!?!?!

I'm not a big TV junkie, and many of the shows that ATOT salivates over I think are horribly stupid, but I'm glad to see the strike over so we can get rid of some of the horribly stupid shows that have replaced the horribly stupid shows...

Shows like?

These two come immediately to mind:
The Office
Heroes

heroes is terrible but the office rox0rz

FINALLY! New Shark and Two and a Half Men episodes STAT!

 

[Mr Pickles]

I could care less. But could someone tell me why Michael Eisner of all people was declared the spokesperson for this writers strike turn around? Who got to decide that Eisner would be breaking the news to people?

I don't necessarily agree that they were being greedy - I think what they were asking for was reasonable, but I despise them (and anyone else) for striking. Not because I missed out on TV shows, because I think striking is pathetic.

what do you care less about? is it cucumbers + brine = pickles?

 

[SunnyD]

This is why unions suck. A good portion of the writers didn't even want to go on strike, but they had to because of the union.

 

[rudder]

I could not even tell the writers were on strike. Reruns of Seinfeld are better than any show on today anyway.

THAT is the most absurd part about unions/striking. People will come in and whine to me about how good unions are and how much they helped the country and all this nonsense, but you hit the nail on the head. It's bad enough they are trying to get what they want by not coming to work, but they're FORCING you to do it!

Why don't I care less? My only interest in this was that the story of it ending came from Michael Eisner. I just want to know, why him?
