Jule JessenbergerPublished 9 months ago in Geeks5 More Shows I Am Concerned For as the Strike Continues On
So after the WGA and the AMPTP's meeting on Friday, August 4 resulted in no resolution, the strike continues. I'm going to be blunt--I'm scared. I've seen a lot of my favorite shows canceled for less than this. I didn't think this strike would be as bad as the one from 15 years prior, now...it has the potential to be exponentially worse. As I said before, it's the viewers who suffer. It's the equivalent of the familiar heartbreaking scenes at a number of houses--the writers and actors are the bickering parents, and we, the viewers, are the heartbroken children begging and pleading for Mom and Dad to stop fighting and settle things for our sake.
