Support the writers!

I am absolutely in full support of the writers' strike. All of my favorite shows (except the dancing ones) are my favorites because of their exceptional writing. Anything by Joss Whedon (Buffy, Angel, Firefly), Scrubs, West Wing, Gilmore Girls, Heroes, House, Colbert Report...these shows are all very different, but they have in common incredible writing that makes me laugh, cry, and think. I hope that the studios can stop being greedy long enough to realize that they don't have a means of making any profit without good writing. And writers should be getting a fair cut when their work is used in any medium--DVD or digitally.

So, strike as long as it takes, writers! If our favorite shows have to go into reruns, it will give D and me a chance to get some shows on DVD from Netflix that we've been meaning to watch anyway...which is just more excellent writing that we will certainly appreciate.
