So, I take it the strike is officially going down, then? I haven't heard anything to the contrary. CNN's got jack to indicate it going either way.

In other, completely-unrelated-other-than-it-was-in-CNN's-headlines news, <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/science/11 ... html">King Tut's face</a>. Wow, mummification MUST have been good if it was kept <i>that</i> well.

I think it officially began as of midnight.

Interesting fact: one of the reviewers ("Moriarty") from Aint-it-cool-news is participating in the strike, since he's part of the WGA... even though he can't really be much of a writer if he's working at AICN.

Scrubs and Re-runs of Married with Children

I think I liked it better when you conveyed your lack of comprehension through complete sentences.

Although, speaking of, Scrubs is probably gonna have their last season cut short by all this, which left Bill Lawrence pissed off. Can't really blame the guy, especially when the episodes he's pulled together for this season have somehow morphed back into not-shit.

Oh, and interestingly enough, a strike of Broadway workers is going on at, like, the EXACT SAME TIME.

Wierd.

What, there was only one movie that mentioned a strike?

A strike of TV industry Writers? That lasted like seven years?

Well, I'm stumped. I'm sure if the plot of the movie revolved around this strike, I'd probably have heard of it (since you say it's just mentioned).

Dammit, you're not going to tell us, are you?

For those concerned (the slim minority), they're holding talks after Thanksgiving, so this year's debuts might have a slim chance of making it yet.
