Harlan Ellison- Pay the WriterOh my God. This is awesome! I totally agree with everything Mr. Ellison says here.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj5IV23g-fE I've known about this guy for quite a number of years. Used to see his rants on a show called "Sci-Fi Buzz". |

And Hollywood wonders why there's a writers strike. |
| John Gibson |
And you know it'll take forever for Hollywood to crack and say "let's give the writers what they want (or deserve)".
At first, I was rather neutral on the whole Writers Strike, but now I'm all for the writers. Ok, we may not see GOOD TV shows for a while, but it won't be the writers fault! Anyone who says differently is an idiot. End of story, thank you. |

TV execs are like impatient children who plant seeds, and expect them to grow in 5 seconds. If it dosen't happen right away, they throw a fit, and whine, scream, complain, and throw the seeds away. No series is an overnight success right out of the gate, and anything with a glimmer of potential greatness continues to get canceled in favor of cheap, fad programs that may get quick cash, but lack any kind of lasting appeal what so ever. |
