Wasn't the shite-storm of so-called "reality" television the awful offspring of the last writers' guild strike? Seems I recall that. And what a boon for producers: no need to pay writers, or even actors. Is that crap really an improvement? Is that where we want television to go?
I for one am not happy with that result, and shudder to think of what'll happen this time.
Are there any DUers in this industry who will weigh in on this?

"Dribble" is what basketball players do.
Bad writers espouse drivel.
Heh-heh.
Sorry, couldn't resist giving you a hard time.
We've known eachother long enough, I think...
