Writers & Actors Going On Strike (Writers & Actors Strike Over)

I remember when Lost and Heroes got so fucked up due to the writers strike.

Lost kinda bounced back but Heroes was never really the same in my opinion

It's universally agreed upon that 2 shows that suffered the most due to the writer's strike was Heroes and Friday Night Lights season 2. Both those seasons were mediocre to below as fuck
 
Bruh, you don't remember 07, early 08?

Whatever isn't already shot, will be stopped.

And if it's a broadcast show (NBC,Fox,ABC,CBS), that's week to week. It will eventually just be reruns.

What makes this different from 07, is streaming. Will the Netflixs' cave in, when some of their most watched content is shows that aired 20/30 years ago
He don't know brah

He just got a TV and cable like 18 months ago

Stall em out
 
How is this going to affect House Of The Dragon?

Probably won't affect it at all, noticeably. They already started writing for next season's episodes. So either they're done already, in which case it won't affect the show at all. Or they aren't done and they'll have to stop for the strike and resume later. But unless the strike lasts like 6-8 months or some shit, there will still be plenty of time to finish writing and shoot the first however many episodes before the premiere, which will prolly be next summer.

You right.

I keep forgetting he still rocking a PS1.

My bad, i was actually outside doing shit and not glued to a tv waiting for the next episode of malcom in the middle.

Tell me more about how yall favorite rom coms got disrupted during this strike.
 
It's interesting seeing this play out. The writers are getting fucked over by streaming just like the musicians are.

Imagine if hop hop artists had a union and they went on strike until the streaming services paid them what theyre worth.

I hope the writers get paid but the shitty part is that the CEOs prolly aint gonna take any cuts. Any increases these writers get/negotiate are probably gonna get passed off onto the consumers

Never seen an episode of Malcolm in the middle

Can't relate to the joke
 
When I worked in LA a few years ago, it a couple years after the first strike. My first job was in residuals for a lot shows like SpongeBob, Cosby Show, Roseanne and Tyler Perry'.

What I notice is that the all guilds,: DGA,WGA,AFTRA, and IATSE contracts didn't pay a lot of money in residuals for streaming platforms then.

You'd be surprised how little they got quarterly and it got to the point we had hold checks until they reached a certain amount bc it cost more to print the check.

The real money is in production, they got like 75 - 85 percent of profits. The rest is split amongst everyone else.

And people wonder why folks like Tyler Perry isn't part of the WGA.and does all the writing. Liomsgate was another client I worked for and I saw his pay for his shows. He got paid on the backend and the front. His residuals were huge
