I wanted to blog about this a few days back but I thought I should do a little research before I go on saying my thoughts about it. For those who don't know what's going on, let me try to make it as simple as I can. I'll lay it out for you in layman's terms. Writers in America want more money. So if you want money and people don't give it to you, what do you do? Fight of course. Not physically but start boycotting all the broadcasters! How cool is that? It's called the 'Writers Guild of America Strike'. So there you have it. Simple as that.
So they say, "so what, they strike, strike lah" NO! See, its a chain reaction. Okay, lets put in a little more details to see if we can get this chain reaction thing right. Screw it if I'm wrong, this is my take on it. Go Google it if you must, I'm not saying I'm right anyways.
FOX is a network and they thought to themselves "hey why not we order 22 episodes of Prison Break Season 3" So they order the show and make an agreement. So the scriptwriters start cracking their heads to figure out how the hell does Scofield get out of Panama prison and should Sarah die. So as they go on writing the show and the show after that, its being filmed too at the same time. So then suddenly a smart ass thought to himself "I crack my head so hard but I'm only paid $10 for this. Damn this sucks. I'm going to tell my friend about this" (Figures are wrong and the guy was made up. It's a possibility) So as he went around telling his friends, then his friends friend decided to tell his other friends then BAM! They call it a strike. Okay okay, back to Prison break again, so yeah. The strike came eventually and the scriptwriters were like "Fuck you! We won't write for you anymore bitch!" So instead of the agreed 22 episodes that were supposed to be on, only 13 were shown. So what happened to the other 9 more episodes? The writers don't wish to write anymore so the show is on a hold. Best thing is, there was suppose to be a spin off from Prison Break called Prison Break Cherry Hill but now chances are there wouldn't be anymore of it. So how does it affect us.
Firstly, we can't download it off the net because there's nothing there to be downloaded, so no more use of the hard disk cause you've got nothing else to trade. So no more Ugly Betty and shows like that. People who don't download and have to wait for Channel 5 to premier it will have to wait even longer. Why? Cause you see, they usually show it first somewhere else in the world and when they're finished showing everything, then we will be able to see it. I don't really know how it works but I think Channel 5 too buys it off from them but I guess at a cheaper rate. I don't know. Do your research on this. So yeah. Do you see the problem now. We depend loads on America for our favorite TV shows. So if there's a hold up there, there's an even longer wait for us. Cause apparently the writers thought it would be cool to EXTEND the bloody son of a bitch strike! So there's nothing else to watch on TV. And the same goes for CABLE! We are all doomed for life! No more Television for us. Screw it, now we're stuck with local tv shows. Damn.
