Day: January 3, 2009

I generally have a hopeful personality. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt. I can easily forgive.

But I have had it up to here with the television industry.

Shortly after the new year, the Screen Actor’s Guild will vote on whether or not to strike. Yes, just a year after the writer’s tore the heart out of the TV season, the actors might provide an encore performance.

I had just started to get into our weekly viewing routine. We had a nice rhythm going and looked forward to the addition of “Scrubs” to our schedule in January.

I know the actors pushing for a strike will talk about how they need to guarantee the future for their profession through payments for performances viewed online and stuff like that. But this goes way beyond royalties.

Now I will have to develop an entire new routine if the actors decide to take a stand. Don’t they realize the pain that will cause?
