"seen here in their natural habitat"

The writers all know that this strike is making the people who watch TV a bunch of sad pandas. But they're good people. Which is why they've given us these.

general info

Here's a comprehensive list of how many episodes are left of various TV shows before they start to be affected by the WGA strike.

Fortunately for my sister, Doctor Who will not be affected. (Because it's British.) Fortunately for Daniel, neither will South Park. (Because Matt and Trey aren't in the WGA.)

"how greedy can they get, they won't even share the net"

Ron Moore, BSG writer, talks about the strike.

Those webisodes they did? The studio wasn't planning on paying anybody involved for it. Just read what he says about that... it's upsetting to me, because it isn't fair at all. I'm a writer, I would eventually like to be a paid writer. The way these people who share the same passion for writing that I do are being taken advantage of is wrong.

WGA strike

There's a lot of information on that blog about why the WGA is on strike, and some videos from the writers of various shows (ones that I watch) talking about why they're on strike and why it's a big deal.

The writers don't get any money from new media (the internet). So watching shows online, which is all I can do, because I don't have a TV, is basically screwing them over. They're not getting paid for the stuff they're putting out. There are some things that people work on that haven't even been on TV, like The Office webisodes - the writers got nothing for that, because they aired on the internet. And apparently the writers even won a daytime Emmy for that.

If anyone has any questions about why this is going on, this website is very helpful and informative.
