Strike Update: Writers And Producers Back To Screwing Each Other At The Table
The Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers are back at the bargaining table today after a week-long recess to consider proposals. Nobody expects a deal any time soon, but with the networks revealing their Fall schedules to advertisers next week, the pressure to get some kind of agreement in place will be severe. It would be profoundly tragic if CBS's Les Moonves didn't squeeze every nickel out of the 30-second spots between their ten shows with the cute wives and the dumb, insensitive husbands.
