Yeah, but again normally you can tell what Harlan is pissed at. And really he is fairly selective about what makes him angry. It is just that usually when he is mad he is really good about telling you all about it. This last link NSM.
Gimme some milk.

[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. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

I thought he made it pretty clear. He's pissed at the 17 day window. He's pissed at the dropping of animation and reality. But he's really pissed that after months of striking for a fair deal, he feels the writers got NSM. And I agree that the deal is not "fair", but I also admit, were I a writer, it is probably what I would accept.

Joel Surnow recently announced that he's leaving 24. TWoP takes a look at what the show could become if certain other well known showrunners were brought on board.

All is well that ends in pizza.
No Tim? For shame.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I would so watch the Joss Whedon one, based on casting alone.

On Tim's 24, the season would open with hour 12, and then alternate hour 1, hour 13, hour 2...

Oh yeah. And I reacted as Plei did to the Dick Wolf one.

What is even happening?
There wouldn't be a Tim version of 24. They're cutting down on the torture.
(And what's a Tim show on the FOX network, but?)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
From PerformInk (a Chicago trade paper) article on the deal:
The WGA deal does not include reality TV writers or animation writers, the latter of which is covered by the International Association of Theatrical and Stage Employees (IATSE).
IATSE? How odd. I mean, I can make a guess as to the history of how that happened, but it's still weird.
