Of the Staff of nine writers, the lowest paid gets just over $20,000 per episode (the showrunners are getting $100,000 per). Due to the shut down, that's more than I'll end up making during the entire series - yet striking writers are receiving freebies? What gives? My multicamera show was shut down until further notice.

I am an ordinary person. I look forward to your meaty, studied, cogent reportage. Seriously. What can you improve? I don't know. I thank you for reporting on the stuff that matters (to me, anyway). As for the writers' strike? I am with them 100 per cent! Without them there is nothing. I only hope powerful producers and directors and others get a clue and support them, walk with them, and turn the tide. Anything else is obscene. Okay, I can dream. Thanks for all your hard work!

schwarzenegger should step in but he’s trying to be a centrist because he thinks he’s going to get a constitutional amendment and be president.

his calculated “man of the people” statement about concern for the populace is laughable because his primary interest is his own political preservation, but his primary obligation is to the people of CA.

unlike the presidential candidates, he is in office to govern CA and should at least try to take a role.

Keep on offering us all this. I was 20 in 1988, there was no such tool then. The only trace we got of the event here are reruns of <i> New Mission: Impossible</i> (shot in Australia, no rush to Down Under or New Zealand this year? ;-)) Your work is fantastic, in fact I’m going to recommend it to our readers (those who speak english, at least) via the blog of our website (I already recommend it on my personal blogs).

Having to review all the comments coming in on top of everything else you're doing can't be fun. But, its been a great forum to hear different people's opinions, and I'm sure its been cathartic for those in the midst of this horrible and stupid strike. Take care-- Dave Nikki,

So you don't need to improve another damn' thing. Seriously outstanding reporting, and a dedication to the power of the honestly written word and the objective POV that's sadly missing from today's media discourse. Thanks, Nikki, for everything.

Amazingly good reporting on this whole mess. I was wondering if you had a twitter stream going as well. I'm sure you'd get a lot followers quickly, and then people in the field could twitter updates. May I suggest using #wgastrike as the code (put that at the start or end of every post). Also, the TAG blog reports that some TV animation is now going dark because the showrunners are striking. I thought animation would be safe. What other genres will be affected by the showrunner's solidarity? And how does this extend into film? Where do those producers stand? First.

With all the drama playing out around us, I think it's important that we know what the best captions were for the photo from yesterday. A moment of comic relief wouldn't hurt us. Thanks. Other than that - I appreciate the site and what you're doing as a master communicator. It helps that you care about things getting resolved too. To jump topics, don't you think Bill Clinton is staying out of this because he and his wife's camp know that if he fails to bring folks together and solve the problem it will reflect poorly on him/her and might make for a mark against his significance in her campaign and Presidency? Could that be what is keeping other folks in politics away from being more publicly involved - this fear of failure? I’m a writer.
