WGA (writers) Strike
WGA strike has started today. Wonder how long it will last.

I'd be a bit more worried about the nurses strike if I were you.

So another round of writers strikes begins. Am I bothered? Nope.

Re: WGA (writers) Strike
US Late Night Shows will be the main effect, for now.
The Main US TV season wraps up in May, and they are all produced already. Most of the shows set for the summer will also have been written and produced already. Any effect on network shows is not likely to be seen until the new seasons are due (in Autumn). If the strike lasts long enough, they may see a delay in production. Streamers like Netflix/Amazon are also less likely to be affected as they produce shows well in advance of airing them. They will have a backlog of shows already to show (and maybe they will slow down their release rate a little, esp Netflix). |

AFAIK, No TV series was cancelled solely due to the previous strike (in 2007). Many had their episode numbers reduced, and a small number were cancelled due to poor ratings (the strike was used as a part excuse for some of these). The circumstances were very different then as well. Shows from Streamers like Netflix, Prime etc didnt really exist. The strike was also right in the middle of the main US TV season, this one is not. |

As I said, No TV series was cancelled solely due to the previous strike.
A small number were cancelled due to poor ratings (and the strike make a convienient excuse to halt production on them) Bionic Woman stopped production because of the strike, it was not renewed because of poor ratings. Journeyman had already been written and produced, in fact its last episode aired a few weeks after the strike started, it was also just not renewed due to low ratings. Pushing Daisies Season 1 was cut short, but it still got renewed for a 13 episode Season 2 the year after the strike, it was not renewed again, also due to poor ratings. |
