You know, they could have decently said that they needed to get over the writer's block, instead of striking?

Answer 1

Because they would then be fired for not putting out. They decided to play hardball by making it seem like they are needed. The truth is, anybody could write better than the stuff this season, as long as they know all of the details of the series. They are just trying too hard to please too big of an audience, so they fail to please many people at all.

Answer 2

TV writers never have writer's block. They just blow the dust off old shows, change the names, and make it a "new" show.
I do agree with their right to strike though. Without unionization their pay would be doodly squat while the network executives get it all.
Like where I work.

Answer 3

then know one would know the real reason. they deserve what everyone else is getting. striking and writers block are two different things.

writers block: don't know what else to write,
striking: they want something that they aren't getting which is the royalities they deserve.

it is their writing that puts the shows on air. whether it be tv or internet. the actors and actress get their pay for it why can't the writers.

Answer 4

Now there's a thought. I have seen some lame story lines lately! Specifically... Izzy and George!!!!(Grey's Anatomy)

Answer 5

Darn lazy writers. When will they finally grow up?

Answer 6

Sure they could, but then if they had done that, you wouldn't get a chance to ask this question.
