I know at the age I’m at now that I shouldn’t have fallen into the dronism of TV, but this writers thing really chafes my balls. I understand the level of creative genius that must go into most of these television shows, but good god almighty, it’s not like they don’t draw on other sources. These guys aren’t in a standalone craft, and we the consumers are, after a while, going to refuse to pay for this. This is just another sick ploy like the NBA strikes of the 80’s to further inflate the already BLOATED salaries of people that just don’t need any more money. It’s not my fault that their Hummer only gets 8 miles a gallon and to fill that bad boy up, they have to cut into their crank money for the week. La-dee-F’ing-da!!! Does the song ’semi-charmed life’ jump into your head as much as it does mine over this nonsense? What’s our alternative? Read books? Screw that! So that means that the new family night at the tube will be substituted by one of us reading a book and passing it on to the next family literate as we can discuss it in a week? Horseshit on that!!! As for these writers, let’s F’ing have ‘em and string ‘em up, the greedy bastards!!! Nothing messes with my Prison Break.
Ahh Semi-Charmed Life. The 90’s, also known as the 70’s for Gen X ers. What were we thinking? You know you can still find Third Eye Blind in the record store! Yeah! They work there part time now
Seriously though, I’m going to write more on this writer’s strike at a later date. A brief preview: The hell with them.
I’m with you, bro. If it weren’t for the fact that I can’t seem to get my internal filter in working order, I’d write for TV. It just so happens that I can’t see myself dealing with the douchebag with the Starbucks cup in his hand, wearing glasses with those “dot-commer” frames leering at me saying “yeah, you know the bit you wrote for (whatever show)? Uh…… Yeah, could you make it a bit less………” I don’t know, what…….make it a bit less…… INTERESTING TO WATCH???? Now that I think about it, writing for TV in a country that is in such a nanny state would make me go on strike too. You can’t do this, you can’t say that, they can’t show those…….. Sorry, I’ll make sure that the Desperate Houswives all have their birkas for the upcoming season. Sorry if I can’t write for network, but VH1 has no problem perpetuating the ongoing saga of “I Love New York: the Brenda Years”. Jesus, that girl is about as New York as a John Deere tractor. Better yet, can I get another shot of Tila Tequila please? I can’t seem to get enough of the scripted reality based on the love trials of a dumb broad whose only claim to fame is having the most “MySpace” friends. I see some “delete user” in her future, mark my words.
