[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I wonder if any shows will stay on, by virtue of having episodes in the can, that would have been cancelled.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

It looks like The Office may close down production, which will be the first big drama to fall. If that happens, they've got, like, 3 episodes in the can. That'll be a good viewer test, methinks.

James Gunn puts it politely: [link]

So for their stinginess, their greed, and their overall bullshit, the studios can go fuck themselves. And not in a nice way either.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The soap operas will hit harder. When they go next week or so, that'll piss some people off.

Is that the turnaround for these things? Like, what do they do, write the script while on set and shoot it immediately?

The Office is a comedy. Ostensibly.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I heard the soaps generally have about 30 days backlogged.

Some posters on TWOP were quoting articles claiming soap operas will be good till January or so, altho some of the later episodes in that might run into issues because no one will be around to do on-the-fly last-minute rewrites, which are common.

Of course, considering how some of the soap operas are doing lately, I wonder if anyone will really notice? Sorry. Just a little perturbed about Sami getting ready to marry her rapist on DAYS.

This post is totally on topic, too, right, since I'm talking soaps?

Oh, that old trick.

That's my bad. I use drama to signify anything which isn't reality TV nowadays.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

the reporting of the strike is gonna be a little bias you may suggest.

Do you normally find that, say, TV Guide covers Fox too favorably or EW gives tongue baths to WB?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Entertainment Weekly is totally a tool of the LaRouche agenda.

I only look at EW for the pictures. It's like my reverse Playboy.
