Ik vind em ook best goed, het is anders dan dat we gewend zijn... Life is leukquote:Op vrijdag 5 oktober 2007 17:16 schreef popolon het volgende:

"Life," starring Damian Lewis as an LAPD detective just out of the slammer, where he spent a dozen years for a crime he did not commit, also won its time slot among 18-to-49-year-old viewers. It beat ABC's new "Dirty Sexy Money" and the season debut of CBS's "CSI: Miami".
Hopen dat Life een blijver is. Ik ben fan.
Jammergenoeg is dit bericht al meer dan een week oud, inmiddels staat het op de laatste plaats van die drie series.quote:Op vrijdag 5 oktober 2007 17:16 schreef popolon het volgende:

what the fuck...hoe groot is die kans dat dit doorgaat?quote:Op zondag 21 oktober 2007 18:17 schreef Symer het volgende:
De komende staking in Hollywood kan slecht nieuws betekenen voor veel series.
Als de staking doorgaat zal productie stoppen bij vrijwel alle scripted tv-shows, waardoor zenders alleen nog maar de afleveringen uit kunnen zenden die al klaar zijn. Dat betekent dat vanaf december Amerikaanse tv overgenomen zal worden door herhalingen, reality shows, quizzen en buitenlandse series.
Als de vorige staking van 1988 (die 5 maanden duurde) enige indicatie is qua lengte komt het erop neer dat series als Heroes, Prison Break en alle andere series die in dit topic genoemd zijn dan ongeveer rond december stoppen met het huidige seizoen en niet eerder weer beginnen dan september 2008.
Voor series die later zouden beginnen als 24 en Lost betekent het dat Fox en ABC het moeten doen met de afleveringen die op dit moment klaar zijn. Het seizoen van Lost bijvoorbeeld zou na 6 afleveringen stoppen.
Hopelijk komen de producenten en schrijvers een beetje op tijd met een overeenkomst, want om na 8 maanden wachten slechts 6 Lost-afleveringen te krijgen trek ik natuurlijk niet![]()
Laatst bleek dat de producenten niet van plan zijn om zonder slag of stoot toe te geven aan de schrijvers, dus de kans dat er een staking komt is behoorlijk. Hoe lang dat gaat duren is koffiedik kijken, maar alle zenders schijnen al een plan B te hebben (de herhalingen en quizzen, enz). Het lijkt er dus op dat ze niet verwachten dat het binnen korte tijd opgelost is.quote:Op zondag 21 oktober 2007 18:24 schreef Tim86 het volgende:

Dat is het probleem juist. In de nieuwe media gaat veel geld om, de producenten willen dat zelf houden, maar de schrijvers willen er ook een aanzienlijk deel van.quote:Op zondag 21 oktober 2007 18:26 schreef Xrenity het volgende:
Daar gaat toch zo veel geld in om. Lijkt me stug dat dat tegenwoordig nog gaat gebeuren?
Helemaal met je eens, als de series "tijdelijk stoppen" dan betekent dat ineens veel tijd overquote:Op zondag 21 oktober 2007 19:31 schreef BliksemSchigt het volgende:

Maar het is wel goed kut.

quote:As for the TV biz, the programming schedules of broadcast networks would be hugely disrupted were a strike to be called soon.
A prolonged stoppage would lead to abbreviated 10-episode seasons of scripted series, forcing the networks to fill primetime with repeats, unscripted fare and occasional acquisitions. Already, webheads are prepping their alternatives: NBC, for example, is considering running the original British production of "The Office" as strike-replacement programming.
While fall series have already started their seasons, midseason shows have the option to air a short season or not.
Indications are that both Fox and ABC are sticking to their original plan to launch "24" and "Lost" in January and February, respectively. Fox's "24," which started production late and was affected by the recent wildfires, is working on episodes seven and eight, one-third of its 24-episode season. "Lost" has almost reached the 10-episode mark, closer to the show's 16-episode season order.
A strike in November would also hurt the networks' development for fall 2008. Only 30% to 50% of all commissioned scripts -- normally due by year's end -- have been turned in to date. So in the event of a stoppage, network execs will have to make their pilot picks from a smaller pool, and hundreds of writers who couldn't finish their scripts on time won't be paid or will be paid only a fraction for their efforts.
A strike longer than six to eight weeks also would trigger the force majeure clause in TV writers' deals, giving studios free rein to drop expensive contracts.
By contrast, a writers strike called in January would have a lesser effect on the networks, triggering 18-episode seasons of the existing series instead of the usual 22 installments.
Nog even wachten tot de dag aanbreekt in Hollywood dus.quote:WGA strike captains are making calls this morning telling their scribbling membership to clean out the offices today -- though the town has yet to hear an official strike declaration. It's the proverbial quiet before the...total silence.
De staking kan vandaag beginnen. Sowieso komt de WGA met z'n leden pas vanavond bij elkaar en dit artikel zou de staking best volgende week pas kunnen beginnen om meer druk uit te oefenen.quote:Op donderdag 1 november 2007 11:00 schreef Symer het volgende:

Nu maar hopen dat de staking niet zo lang duurt, maar gezien de koppigheid van beide partijen heb ik er een zwaar hoofd in.quote:Hold Onto Your Couch Cushions: The Strike Is Here
The Writers' Guild of America announced this evening that the scribes behind our favorite TV shows (and movies) will indeed go on strike, after the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers refused to budge on the crucial issue of broadband and internet profits.
Funny enough, I heard this news tonight while sitting at a table at a Children's Defense Fund dinner with Lost producer Damon Lindelof and Heroes producer Tim Kring, whose Blackberries (along with other writers, producers and directors in the room) simultaneous buzzed about 7:30 with the news that "It's on."
My heart it heavy. Not so much for the lack of television we fans will have to endure (we'll get to that in a moment), but for the ripple effect this strike will have on the Hollywood industry and community, trickling down from the likes of executive producers to writers to actors to caterers to dry cleaners to office-supply workers to janitors to the wives and children of all of the above. I'm not trying to get sappy here, but it needs to be said: When Hollywood shuts down, it shuts down for everyone--not just the writers themselves.
I'm told that sometime in the 24 hours, WGA members will be given instructions for when the strike will begin, and handed red WGA T-shirts that they will wear as they picket.
And as of this very moment, TV as we know it is no longer moving forward. It's an oddly disturbing feeling.
Many of you fans have been writing in to ask: What does this mean for our favorite shows? I have to admit, I'm still wrapping my own head around it, but here's what I can tell you:
The effects of the strike will be felt first for nighttime shows such as Leno, Letterman, Kimmel and (this one's hard to stomach) The Daily Show, which obviously write scripts on a daily basis.
Up next, soap opera scripts will run dry.
And then, somewhere around January or February, most of the series currently on the air will run out their completed episodes and be replaced by reality and news programming, reruns or that burning log in the fireplace normally reserved for Christmas day. (Whatever the nets can muster.)
So, when we're talking about Heroes, Grey's, Ugly Betty, The Office, etc., you can expect to get weepy about January. But, of course, it also depends upon how long the strike lasts. It could be as short as five days or as long as the last strike in '88, five months, or even longer.
From all appearances, Lost may have the best advantage of all series, given that it has been stockpiling new scripts since June and not a single episode has yet aired. At this point, 14 of 16 episodes have been written. And if the strike does last long enough to really affect other series, Lost could very well be the only quality scripted dramas on television in February (along with perhaps 24, though it's far more behind in its scripts due to a major overhaul of location and storyline).
Heroes also might not have it quite so bad. This year, producers decided to break up the season into "volumes," and the first volume is set to come to an end the first week of December. It's likely that the wait for the second volume would simply extend until after the strike is over, so at least fans would have a natural break in the storyline.
And then you have the more depressing scenarios. For starters, there are producers like Joss Whedon, whose new series Dollhouse has been catapulting forward with lightning speed, only to be derailed for the time being from the strike. "I will be busy picketing," Whedon told me yesterday. "I support the guild, and I think what we are doing is unfortunate, but necessary. And that means I don't get to have my fun, but that isn't the point."
It's also a grim story for new series and especially Chuck and Gossip Girl boss Josh Schwartz, whose two new series have been gaining serious momentum and buzz--but must come to a screeching halt. Sources tell me that Gossip Girl lost a cover of Entertainment Weekly because of the strike (it might not be on the air when the cover would come out) and that Chuck will not receive news of a full-season pickup until after the strike is over. "I support the guild," Schwartz told me. "But it's unfortunate for everyone, all the way around."
Bottom line: We'll have our shows all this month for November sweeps, then notice a noticeable dip in new programming (as usual) in December, and will really start to see the affects of this strike in January or February.
So...anyone have any ideas on what we TV fans are gonna do to survive it? DVDs? Reruns? Books? Video games? Anger management? Knitting circles?
I'm honestly not sure. But I do know that this strike is necessary and I personally support the writers. Here's hoping this strike ends in a swift and just manner--and before Fox brings back The Littlest Groom.
