Picketing has ceased in New York and Los Angeles. I speculate that this could just be the writer’s taking a break between now and the new year, but I have read no official word on it at this point. I’m sure we’ll see writer’s back out on the picket lines eventually, but its not encouraging to see that they’re no longer there as a daily reminder to the studios that this thing isn’t right.

When this first started I thought, “there’s no way it’ll last as long as the last one did.” Now I’m wondering if there will be any scripted television written in 2008…or 2009.
