Television could soon get very boring. You might be already noticing it. Letterman, Leno and O’Brien are all repeats. Their writers are on strike. Soon, you’ll notice soap operas in repeats and then your favorite shows.
At least six sitcoms won’t be in production because of the strike. ABC’s hit “Desperate Housewives” won’t film any new episodes after Wednesday because they don’t have any new scripts.
Both sides are in it for the long haul.
Back in 1988, the writers went on strike for 22 weeks, a walkout that cost the industry more than $500 million.
p.s., there’s always “Nightline” and your local news! 🙂
