Who cares? Now should there be another hockey lock-out that may be another thing.

Well, I can't argue with that.

Well, seeing as how most shows these days are reality shows, I'm wondering just exactly how many actors would actually be losing a job?

Funny you mention it, 'cause when I was keeping track of the actors' strike, there's two different union involved: one is AFTRA, which is more to do with lower-level thespians who work on TV, if not minor roles on film--whereas with SAG, it's comprised mainly with A-listers, or any actor of that higher caliber.
And with the recent (AP? Reuters?) reports indicates, I think it's AFTRA that received the better deal, much to the chagrin of its more prominent guild counterparts. That's fine with me, given that I don't think I have much respect for SAG.

True, but I can't really fault the writers - the studios and other execs are trying to make more money off the writers' work w/o giving the writers a cut. The studio execs are the ones to blame.

Give me a break! When you're making millions of dollars doing things most people only DREAM of doing, I think you should be able to find a way to solve your problems WITHOUT making your fans suffer.
