TV, Strikes, Programming

During and after the strike - it was clear television was losing and the American people were not going to just forgive and forget - return to the TV when it was all over.

I recall reading one TV exec in one online Hollywood magazine say something to the effect that the audience would return, just because.

Apparently not.

Now - produce quality programs. Stop with whining and strikes. Spend your time acting not commenting on social issues. You are all paid to act/produce/direct NOT to be the social conscience of America. When your programs stink and you spend your time trying to be the social conscience - you will fail as you have.

I know I do not watch any TV on any network. I watch HBO and SHOWTIME and very little of that. Had you not gone on strike, I would have spent 2-3 hours per week watching TV.

Now, 1/2 that.

Ha.


No one is watching ... not anymore ... goodbye programming ... au revoir.
