Current Events > So, is that tv writer's strike over yet?

(+) Yeah! (+)

iirc it also affected movie writers. There prob was a lot less press coverage of this strike than the last one like 15 yrs ago. Seemed way more americans cared about the last one, as well.

No

You'll know when it is time because all the late night shows will come back on television. That and there will probably be a topic about Bill Maher yelling at clouds or something.

oh, i don't like late night talk shows. Why would maher be yelling at clouds, though?

They should just make AI-written Family Guy episodes in the meantime. I'm sure AI could write the script for a convincing Family Guy episode by now. Not American Dad yet, but Family Guy, sure.

Maybe when no movies are coming out, people will pay more attention to this and demand it be resolved.

Well most people under 30, at least amongst Gamefaqs users, view him as an out of touch old man complaining about things he doesn't understand. Most of his viewpoint can be summed up by the idea of those on the left dialing things back about 20% or so such that they can capture middle ground voters and wrest control away from Republicans. Even those that don't agree with his views generally acknowledge though that Democrats aren't very good at messaging.

Nope they are too butt hurt about AI. All the writers think they are unexpendable geniuses that produce quality.

Found the network executive.

where those new kitchen nightmares episodes at

I actually wondered the exact same thing especially after the recent distressing news about the torrent site shutting down

Set up a shell studio in Kansas or some other right-to-work state, and stuff it full of scabs.

A.I. writing still sucks. It will be a long time if ever, that it can be as good as a human writer

As a matter of fact it looks like an actor strike might come up too, so I would say we're going to be ass deep in either old shows or AI shit posting for a while.

All movies will be documentaries. All TV will be reality shows
