Kevin, I don't think HIMYM is NBC.
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

[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.

I want to say it's CBS, but Tivo has pretty much destroyed my ability to remember what's on which channel.

That's odd because, well, I wouldn't expect an actor to have to be paid if production has been shut down.

From the digitalspy article:
The SAG's agreement gives studios three options in the event of a strike: they may hold onto series regulars and pay them a full salary, suspend them on half-pay for up to five weeks, or terminate them. If terminated, they are guaranteed a re-hire when production resumes. The SAG argues that putting the actors on unpaid leave while keeping them tied exclusively to the studio violates its agreement.

Aha. That's cool.

In that case, yeah, it sort of does violate the contract, eh?

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12 (UPI) -- Peter Chernin, president of Fox parent News Corp., said the Writers Guild of America strike will probably save his company money.
"We save more money in term deals and, you know, story costs and probably the lack of making pilots than we lose in potential advertising," Chernin said, adding the walkout that started last week is "probably a positive" for the company.
