    So, finally some progress on the WGA's strike. Might we actually get the writers back, and our beloved shows back on tv sometime soon (or not so soon)?

    Well it might just make it worse though - if the DGA got exactly what they wanted, with ease, then the WGA might want their cut too. I notice the directors got their residuals from online content doubled, which is a core contention of the writers and which the studio didn't want to negotiate.

    The writers have been pursuing a a policy of picking off small production companies covered by AMPTP in the hopes that they can break it up. Both David Letterman's company and Tom Cruise's United Artists have both agreed to the writers demands. If a couple of other production companies agree to the writers demands the big studios will have to go with the writers because they will start to lose money.
