What are your thoughts on this? A lot of shows have halted production, networks are reworking their schedules. I've heard that the staff of Conan and Leno may be laid off soon, and they are going to cross the picket.
I support the strike, even though i'm worried about my shows. The main issue seems to have to do with residuals from dvds and online streaming. Apparently writers/actors get paid nothing when networks stream content online and have advertisers buy space. And since a lot of shows don't air repeats anymore, it seems to hurt them even more.
