Writers Strike

As the writers strike continues, there continue to be minor settlements around, but with some contracts being cancelled for series development for the fall, the launch of the updated Apple TV, it may now be time to cancel your satellite/cable and consider the cost savings.  If you’re not a mass consumer of television, you may be able to actually save money by acquiring the shows through the iTunesMediaStore instead of paying just to watch things on your TV at home.  It could also give you a chance to save those DVDs from the kids destroying them should you import them (ala the new Family Guy DVD) or via other methods. Personally, I’ve found that The A Daily Show is going downhill fast.  While Jon is clearly insightful on issues, the lack of vision by the network is clearly visible.  Last nights interview apparently went 18 minutes long, but they only posted the part that actually aired instead of some possible compelling “new media” content.  Shows the sad state either of integration or understanding the industry.
