Mightier Than Any Swordsmen

The much talked about writers strike started today, and as I tell you this, writers are picketing Hollywood studios and letting them know what they want: More Money!

The Writers Guild of America called for the strike after failing to get a bigger slice of the revenue the networks are expected to earn from digital downloads and DVD sales of TV shows.

Now that the writers have capped their pens and shut down their computers, the effects of the strike will not seen on your TV, though – literally.

All the networks say they have enough scripts in the can to keep producing shows through January. But if a new agreement isn’t reached soon, the fade to black that will follow will be more dramatic than that from the Sopranos finale.
