Nonsense! I introduce my personable, attractive, and, far more intelligent wife to other folks all the time!
Not that, Um... HEY!

Go here:

Take five minutes and watch the 3 (rather funny, and, well-written) YouTube videos explaining what the studios are trying to do to the writers.
Then, go here:
http://fans4writers.com/
and learn about what we fans can do about it.
Don't forget this one:

Sign the petition. Join the virtual picket line. Be informed, so, you can inform others.
Just be ready to be pissed off. I know I am.

Another fine article explaining some of the larger-scale implications of the corporate position in the current Strike:

Well-written, informative, and, with a fresh slant on how the media aren't covering the Strike, so much as covering it UP.
Grrr!

IMPORTANT NEWS!
"From Deadline Hollywood Daily:
Quote
The date they return to the bargaining table is November 26th. I picked up rumors about this starting about two hours ago, and I've just confirmed it from a WGA source. Now the Writers Guild of America has just issued a statement: "Leaders from the WGA and the AMPTP have mutually agreed to resume formal negotiations on November 26. No other details or press statements will be issued." The exact same statement was just issued moments later by the Alliance Of Motion Picture And Television Producers
More news as we get it.

Looks like we may have something to be thankful about, and, the writers, too!

Looks like indeed! Thanks, Raycheetah. :-)
I think all the fans and the writers and actors supporting the writers and the early closing of some shows and the lack of some show's seasons ( 24 ) might have had a wee bit of impact. Heh.

That, and, the fact that, unlike 19 years ago, we fans had a collective voice, as well as timely and accurate reporting of the situation, which the Studios couldn't suppress, both courtesy of the internet. An unproven techological platform.
I surely doubt this had anything to do with the Writers bein' tired of picketing. I think that, under the stern eye of growing negative public opinion, the Studios blinked.

I just heard the news about the return to talks while listening to a webcast interview with Tim Minear. The interview is 71 minutes, and the news is in the last 10 minutes. You can listen to the whiole interview here: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Geekerati/blog/2007/11/17/Tim-Minear-Talk

Variety announced that the writers had agreed to return to talks. Which Tim laughed about saying something like "We've been out there marching saying "Hey! Talk to us."
Hopefully a fair deal can be made. Hopefully the WGA doesn't settle for anything less than they want.

Just to bump and to confirm.
Talks between the WGA and the AMPTP (sp?) have been scheduled for Nov 26th. If this does work out, then maybe we won't have a truncated season after all. Yayyy, more OFFICE and HEROES. 24, LOST and BATTLESTAR will be on after all, hopefully.
