I have friends who work on them and--regardless of our opinion of the shows, and they often share it--orders and jobs are going way up because of the strike.Dr. Strangelovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14407042105777411150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-36685841331638394912007-11-05T20:59:00.000-08:002007-11-05T20:59:00.000-08:00Actually, the last writers' strike was in 1988, an...Actually, the last writers' strike was in 1988, and I don't think "reality TV" took off until at least 1990.<BR/><BR/>There is no doubt that public support in LA for writers is fairly strong. That's interesting for the labor movement. And dangerous if they fail.The Law Talking Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17886791396468512490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-24147219251134131612007-11-02T21:04:00.000-07:002007-11-02T21:04:00.000-07:00How successful was the last writers' strike?
