at midnight. That doesn't mean for sure that there's going to be a strike, but that is a distinct possibility. Writers want a share of profits from digital downloads, and a re-do of the dvd agreement, that they feel short-changed them, badly.
Daily, live shows would be the first hit - The Daily Show, The Colbert Report etc., cause without writers...they've got nothing to say.
Your fave tv show should have enough episodes already written to get you through January or so...but a strike could mean we're looking at re-runs. Loads of re-runs.

Writers seem to be unrecognized and underappreciated by the general masses as a result of Hollywood attitudes. TV and movie fans rush to congratulate actors on a beautiful performance, but forget that there couldn't have been one at all without someone to formulate the concept.
Writers do a tough job that not many people understand, and within reason, the good ones deserve what they ask for.
