Yes, there are SOO many people affected by this strike... The writers are only a handful of people per show. Think of all the art department people (art directors, set dressers, buyers, props, construction), camera, make-up, wardrobe, hair, editors, sound, etc. people who are out of work right now! Not to mention the directors and assistant directors. That's a lot of people. Their unions all must be very angry right now.

Well they go back to talks tomorrow and I think they should defintiely try to end it then! It's becoming selfish and going by all the polls about this...the public is really not on anyone's side...the writers aren't getting much sympathy seeing as how they make more than most people in other jobs. The studios should just compromise already...no one wants more reality TV...

Can we go back to the topic? I know GG is affected by the Writer's Strike...but the debate going on here now is still not really about the show.

im crazyyyy abt gossip girl , i've downloaded all the episodes till the last one because its not showing on my tv..
anyway i enjoy this show so muchhh but i just cant get over how similar the characters are to the OC ones, serena totally reminds me of marissa, blair with summer, dan with seth.. its too much i guess
but i luv it anyway and cant wait for the next episode

[LUXXX]

Next ep airs tomorrow. It's new...about Thanksgiving...

[r_r_r]

^oh thank god!



I thought they cancelled the rest of the season. Thanks for clearing that up!

[Suburban Snob]

OMG I would die if they cancelled the rest of the season. I just hope it doesn't drag out and become really bad a la The OC.

I know.. if the writers get what they want what about everyone else? I don't really support them at all now.. be happy with what you got... they earn more than a lot of the crew too..I know everyone else here supports them but I dont. Theres a lot of realistic things I want to say about this but people just won;t accept it

[sidrasgaya]

I'd die if they cancel the series. I was the whole weekend watching it (I saw the 8 chapters on Saturday... yes, I didn't do anything else!) And I like it a lot, their style is very interesing. I am already waiting for today's chapter!

[CHEAPandCHIC]

Cant wait for the new episode

[wickedcrazyness]

[lisandwich]

[TheKiwi]

So glad to know that there's a new episode on tomorrow! I can't wait to see it!
