Tv show writers strike?

I was wondering what was going on with the tv shows writers strike. How long will it last and where can I find out which shows have been affected by it?

It's probably going to last awhile, as there seems to be a lot of animosity between the two sides, and not much compromise.

How long it will last all depends upon the studios. As for which shows are affected, pretty much all scripted shows are affected to some degree. Production on many shows has shut down completely because the cast and directors have joined the writers on the picket lines.

On December 7 (yesterday), the AMPTP walked away from the table, ending talks for the time being.

The 2007 Writers Guild of America strike is a strike by the Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE) and the Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW) that started on November 5, 2007. The WGAE and WGAW are two labor unions that represent film, television and radio writers working in the United States.

The strike is against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), a trade organization that represents the interests of American film and television producers. Over 12,000 writers are affected by the strike.

The Writers Guild has indicated their industrial action would be a "marathon". AMPTP negotiator Nick Counter has indicated that negotiations would not resume as long as strike action continues, stating, "We're not going to negotiate with a gun to our heads鈥攖hat's just stupid.

After a three-week period of no negotiations between the parties, talks resumed on November 26, 2007 at an undisclosed location.

There is a long list of shows that affected by the writers striker. reality shows are ok though since they usually don't use a script.

Just remember we need to support the writers, they deserve to get paid and not be overlooked for all the work they have done.
