Info on some other shows would be nice too. One can assume, based on the schedule of similar shows, but a lot of the shows I watch aren't on that list.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Yeah. Part of the problem is how hard it is to establish the status of some of the shows. I definitely think one big list of everything would be both useful and show everybody how messed up this is gonna get.

Be ye not confused. Though it's hard not to be. When it comes to those handy streaming full episodes -- you know, the ones with the IMBEDDED commercials that you can't skip? -- nothing. Nada. They're calling that "promotional." Back in the 80s when the new market of video tape sales/rentals was born, the lawyers decided to call that "merchandising." The lawyer-double-talk of not calling a thing a thing is a long view strategy for the "moguls."
also, this is good --

CBS - which has a couple of shows I watch online through streaming - doesn't seems to have commercials. Whenever I watch CSI:NY online, I see it straight through without commercials. Which seems pretty odd to me. I usually watch it first thing Thursday morning, so maybe they introduce the commercials later on?

Right, I've heard that, but the WGA video mentions an offer to give the DVD rate for Internet views. Is that different from the "promotional" bullshit? What were they actually offering to pay residuals for, then? Like Amazon Unbox and Netflix downloading?
Thanks for that other video. I didn't know there were other issues on the table, that the WGA felt...threatened.

That's what I understood. That they'd get cheaptastic residuals for things like Unbox or iTunes.

Which again brings me to my original question: how do DVD residuals work? If they are willing to offer the four cents for an iTunes download of an episode, that means it's a per-episode thing, right? When you buy a DVD set, four cents goes to the writer(s) (if an episode is co-written, do they split the four cents?) of each episode? That would make sense to me.

CSI Old School does--at the beginning of each segment, so it's about 4. I used to like their interface, but it's bugging the hell out of me lately.
