Television has taken over the lives of countless Americans, many follow the lives of Grey of Jack Bauer closer than a friend. With the invention of TiVo it has become even easier to stay a part of T.V. characters lives. Now with the looming writers strike this, alternate life, could be over.
David Bauer’s article, Despite writers’ strike, shows must go on, discusses how network TV is going to play out in the near future. He says that almost all primetime shows such as, Grey’s or Hero’s have no more episodes written. The programs that will be shown are less popular programs like, New Adventures of Old Christine. People in turn will need to fall in love with reality T.V. and sports broad casts.
What David is saying is proving everyone’s worst fears. Without a resolution to the strike in sight TV as we know it is about to change. One has to believe a resolution will be reached, the question is will it be in time. By the time a resolution has been reached any people may have found better uses of their time. This strike is the worst thing that could have happened to network television and they will be seeing the repercussions of being cheap for decades.
