Reply to Posti'm confused, please someone explain- regarding writer's strike
-
ok so i completely support the idea that the writers should be adequately paid for shows which are watched on the internet, don't get me wrong. But i am also a huge fan of the show and i hate to think that soon i won't have my weekly grey's fix (it literally gets me through the week). so here is my question.. is shonda rhimes striking? not one of these articles posted here has mentioned her, and i'm just wondering why she can't write more episodes. i know she's technically executive producer or whatever but she also is creator and head writer i believe so i just wish she could give us some more episodes, but i guess that would be showing a lack of support for those on her writing staff. anyways.. lemme know your opinions..Posted 11/8/2007 1:00:00 AM #

I dont know if you have seen any of the strikers... but the actors, creators, producers are all in support of this strike and are out there striking with the writers. I saw where EP, PD, Shonda, and a whole slew of other actors from other shows/movies are showing their support and out there striking also. (This is only 1 aspect to the strike) I guess one of the biggest problem the writers have is that when a DVD is sold the writers only recieve 1 or 2 pennies per dvd sold...which is crap! So the writers want more money per dvd sold..this is the age of the DVD...so all writers whether its a TV show, movie..whatever.. the writers are being shutout. When a movie is in theaters the writers get an alright cut...but as soon as it goes to DVD the writers get the shaft....So Shonda is going to stand behind her team on this one. Im sure she could write without her team, but that would be like her crossing the picket line.. Now Broadway is shut down too because the stage hands went on strike.Posted 11/12/2007 1:00:00 AM #
