Merry Christmas?
This is totally the most depressing thing I have read all week:

I'm told the moguls are determined to write off not just the rest of this TV season (including the Back 9 of scripted series), but also pilot season and the 2008/2009 schedule as well. Indeed, network orders for reality TV shows are pouring into the agencies right now.
I really, really hope that this is not true. I hope this is just AMPTP leaking crap to DHD to try and scare the WGA into submission. Because otherwise? You do not even want to know. What will I do without my TV? Knit? Read books? Probably I will DIE or something.

No way is that true. If it's true, the AMPTP are stupider than I thought.

That's craaaazay talk. The networks can't possibly think people will keep watching an all-reality schedule for a YEAR. (Unfortunately I worry people are dumb enough to do just that...)

The writers will probably really need to be paid and get back to their careers before then, though, right? But it SUCKS HARD that they're probably gonna lose out in the end.

Especially seeing as how they lost in '88!

Bah. Right now the writers are really my heroes, and since I can't go picket and I already bought my pencils, I really don't know what to do.

I mean, honestly, if they lose it just shows how much power corporate America has, and that's too scary for me to accept.

La-di-da, I didn't hear any of that. *goes back to her denial*

Why don't they just show re-runs? I was kind of excited for that because there was a lot of shows I missed that I wanted to catch instead of downloading. :\
