Tina Fey is just awesome, someone who believes in and stands by the writers. I know she is a writer too, but that just makes it all the better...There should be more like her!

The way I've heard it Tina Fey is a show runner, meaning that she also helps with prep, editing, and is primarily in charge of the show's creative direction. Which she does in addition to writing AND starring in the show. The fact that she's joining the picket lines means that *none* of those other jobs get done either. She IS 30 Rock.

God I love that woman.

Jaymez, my freind, YOU are the one living in the past. To enlighten you; unions have a very pertinent place today. Ask some of your freindly fire fighters, police, airline workers, automobile workers and writers who are either being totally under paid for their work or intellectual property and mistreated by 21st century robber barons (look the term up).
So, you're right, let's fire: all unionized employees, I hope: you can fly your own airplane (after you build it). Let's never give another raise to police, firefighters or those overpaid governmental clerks and school teachers.
That'll teach this country a lesson! Ask PATCO (look it up).
THANK YOU TINA AND ALL MEMBERS of your class and craft! Let jaymex watch reality tv 24/7.

Jaymez, you're right. Currently, there is no place for the writer's union in the 21st century. That's precisely why writer's are striking: they make nothing from internet and dvd sales. You expect to convince me that this is how it ought to be?

Unions of any kind do not have a place in the 21st Century. Fire all those who strike. Don't show up for work, lose your job.

There has not been a strike based episode of 30 Rock. Is it a potential comedy goldmine...? YES! But we will have to wait till the real one is over in order to get a fictional one.

Those are nice signs, how much did those cost the writers? :)

I guess this means I will have to find other things to do besides depend on entertainment and just devote myself to music and other things besides tv...

It isn't quite that simple, because other producer/writers (showrunners), are contractually obligated to complete their non-writing duties regardless of what the WGA says.

I'm all for her actions though. The writers deserve a hell of a lot more than 4 cents a DVD!

Other producer/writers are also on strike.
