The Writers Strike is over

Huzzah.

It's not so much that I missed added content for my favorite TV shows (I have enough other good stuff to watch to backfill for it), as much as the appalling state of what the networks were throwing out there to fill the airwaves in its stead.

Everyone seems fairly happy with the settlement, both per se and for what each side gave and take. A pity it ended up costing everyone as much as it did in order to reach something reasonable.

Quoth Webs ...

Did the Execs think the writers were going cave in. Stupid of them to think this wasn't going to all play out the exact way it did.

Quoth *** Dave ...

I'm waiting for some dust to settle before declaring a "winner," but given that the writers seem to have a significantly better deal than they had before, it would seem the production companies will likely think twice before blasely letting things get to this point again.
