I'm trying to be optimistic here. Perhaps a strike would mean Craig Ferguson would be forced to switch to an interview-only format.
Instead of a 6 minute anecdote from our Captain, we might get a good 15 minutes or so.
Oh well, a girl can hope, right?

"Storms getting worse."
"We'll pass through it soon enough."

Hate to tell you that ALL the late night talkers have cancelled new shows for this week at least. We'll get reruns of Jay, David, Conan and Craig.
Also no Jon Stewart or Steven Colbert.

If the strikes goes on for a while, the only good thing I can think of, is eventually we'll run out of reruns to fill the 1-2 hours on Saturdays at gramma's, and my family can finally finish watching the fourth season of Buffy, and maybe even watch the first season of Angel (we've already burned through Wonderfalls and Firefly and Serenity. I've still got Heroes Season 1, TC complete series, and most of Buffy and Angel on DVD left that they haven't seen though, so we're set). Dollhouse might end up delayed, but since it's not aired yet, it'll probably be slightly safer than Pushing Daisies. My only real concern is Chuck, which is a hilarious series that's only JUST gotten going. Medium and Heroes will probably be fine, because they're addictive. And BBC America won't be affected enough to hurt me, because most of what I'm watching on there is reruns of Doctor Who, Torchwood and Hotel Babylon - stuff that's long since filmed and is technically a rerun, just not necessarily in the same country of origin.
I wonder if Matt and Trey Parker were able to churn out a SP episode before the strike? They write their stuff, they're probably in the WGA.
I suspect Comedy Central will be playing a LOT of old comedy specials and movies for a while. SciFi Channel will probably be OK, as most of their stuff is back catalog to begin with. Mmmm... maybe more Firefly marathons!
Still, I do hope it blows over more quickly, so Heroes doesn't have to stick with the quicky ending instead of a proper lead-in to the next chapter...

Does anybody know the gist of the issues at stake?
I'd heard it was just for more money. However, other comments, including from Joss, indicated it was more, something like a change in formula or structure of pay, between up-front and residual.
Anybody know?
Are they trying to give up more up-front pay to get more residual/royalty/right/profit-based pay?
Or do they just want same up=front pay plus more after-pay?
