Did I miss something? Is the writer's strike over?

According to http://blog.meevee.com/my_weblog/writers_strike/index.html?CMP=KNC-brand the late night hosts are crossing the picket lines. but they will not violate the strike agreement, so it will be mainly musical interviews and improvisation. I do hope the strike is over because aside from cooking and home repairs, etc. I HATE REALITY SHOWS! It looks as if the Tv season is going kerplunk. We will probably have to catch up on our old shows. Looks like bad news.

The strike is still on. Several production companies have crossed the picket lines and have offered their writers a compromise of sorts. Bear in mind that the only ones who have struck any kind of deal are the late-night TV shows who aren't looking at a heavy DVD market. You can download "episodes" of The Tonight Show on iTunes and through a few other outlets but for the most part they're not going to be the money-makers that shows like 24 or Lost will ultimately be. Because of this, several companies have managed to convince their writers to come back to work under certain compensory conditions.

Wow I am totally in the dark - I need to visit myLot more often to keep up with the news. I didn't know there was a writters stick but guess unknowingly I've been supporting them and not writing (ok not by choice just busy with other things). What were they stricking for?

No, the strike is still going on. I read an article with Carson Dally that told him that he had to report to work or 175 people were going to lose their jobs.

As everyone else has said the strike is still on. The thing is that some of these people are just going on without the strike. IF you think about it, Jay Leno and Conan and all of those talk show hosts ARE writers and comedians. They just don't write for themselves anymore. So they're going to be their own writers for a while. The strke could go on for a while. You never know. some people just want to keep going back to work.
