NOTE TO HOLLYWOOD: Get a life!
Really, does anyone give a shit? So the writers go on strike, so what? They make it sound as serious as if doctors were to go on strike. I don't give a crap- I almost never watch TV and I wish these pompous, self-important writers would get a clue that what they do doesn't mean shit in the grand scheme of things. No one is going to die if there isn't a new episode of "Heroes" or "Gray's Anatomy". Stop acting like the world is coming to an end, for f*ck's sake.

[span class="lingo_region"]LOS ANGELES (AP) - TV viewers hooked on cliffhanger episodes of hit shows such as "Heroes" and "Grey's Anatomy" could be left dangling if writers walk off the job.

[span class="lingo_region"] Members of the Writers Guild of America and the group representing film and TV producers were set to meet Tuesday with a federal mediator after scant progress in contentious talks that have dragged on since July.

More than 5,000 members of the Writers Guild of America recently voted, with 90 percent authorizing negotiators to call the first strike since 1988 if necessary.
