While I'm usually prone to documentary viewing over TV "fiction" as is, I would like to point out that the folks on strike (writers) aren't solely in charge of content, them, character, etc.
Network people (producers, PR people, etc) play a huge role in creating and churning out the crap. If they would pay/promote for quality, the writers would produce it.
This is about stopping certain folks from not paying royalties for content as the medium shifts from TV to Internet.
A closer look shows that the stars involved in a lot of TV/movie production are getting huge cuts that shrink the pie as well.
So, while I'm not missing their work much, the Writers Guild has a solid case.
Reader rules that writer owns worst writing style on the Web.
Sorry, but that prose is all over the place. Make a point simply, clearly, briefly. Then expand. Finally, summarize. Consider audience.:)
