no more tv/movie crews in Vancouver for a while.
Oobla di oobla da.......
Isn't it just the writers ?
yeah because they're the ones that make the shows and get paid nothing from the studios.
the writers are the servers in los angeles.
But it could affect everything else.
lol no its about writers not getting any revenue from dvd and internet sales. They get 0%

He was filming in Vancouver/Squamish.

He IS handsome for sure.
Hey....I'll write a few episodes of whatever they want.(//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/4.gif)
I don't know if it's true but I heard that the last contract gave them $.04 on every DVD sold and they just want to double it to $.08. Now if that's the case they aren't fighting of much.
The thing is, I know nothing about this stuff. But I liken it to an artist wanting to be compensated everytime someone looks at one of their paintings.
I'd like to know what a writer gets for writing a half hour sitcom.

I saw some filming yesterday and movie crew/sets this morning. I think Smallville is filming in New West, at their usual place.
Totally off topic, Prison Break is damn hawt to watch, especially that main character, Michael guy! OMG Sweat on ME!!!

I have heard of this Smallville... whats it about?
Its filmed here in new west?
I remember some friends talking about a show called smallville, so I guess its popular.
purelife- you did indeed see the film crews. I heard today that filming can continue until they run out of scripts. Most shows may be able to continue for a few months. Talk shows etc. will be showing re-runs starting now.

smallville is another superman knockoff... the links above.
I guess it won't be a show that you'd watch? I only watch it because my guy is dedicated fan of [STRIKE]Kristen Kreuk[/STRIKE] Smalleville and it's on.

?
YES! She's much hawter on the show. :)
Yes, they will continue to film until they don't have anymore scripts. But I heard that they are going to keep the new episodes for the sweeps period, so we could be into re-runs soon.
My neighbour works on the set of Bionic Women I'll have to ask him how long they have before they can't work anymore.
depends on pay and product P.C. the soap people I've read get 20k and while working in LA.
so late night, syndicated talk shows, soap operas, tv shows on not so high profile networks etc, don't make a lot considering without them there would be nothing. lol
20K ? Per year ? Per episode? Per season ?
year
20K a year? When did you read it? It sounds very low to me. I wonder if these are freelance writers.
anything that's on during the day, those writers don't make much.

This is just prime time tv
There are minimums set by the Writer's Guild of America. Compensation for a television story and teleplay for network prime time television networks begins at $14,700 for a program of 30 minutes or less, $30,145 for a program of 60 minutes or less, and $42,413 for a program of 90 minutes or less. Writers are also entitled to residuals on some programs depending on the number of times the show airs.
Then the "head writer" the one that takes all the credit starts at 60-80k.
daytime tv aka soap operas, make much less then prime time.

I thought the same thing, purelife.....but I have no idea. Trying to find any info about it is difficult, because I'm sure it varies wildly depending on the popularity of the show. But 20K is pitiful.
This little blurb copied from a forum where they were discussing this very issue......so it's accuracy could also be questionable.
"A lot writers are not making astronomical wages. The [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffbf"]average[/FONT] WGA member's annual income is about $68,000. Not a pittance, and much more than I'm making, but also not a great salary in LA, especially if you're raising a family on it. And it's an industry where your salary fluctuates wildly; in any given year, only about 1/2 of WGA membership earns any money writing. I hope a strike can be averted or resolved quickly. I'm another person who's not in the WGA but would be affected by a strike. It would/will suck suck suck, but I also think that the writers demands are reasonable and fair. The positions of the producers and TV executives has been really astonishing."
