Writer's Strike Continues...
The writers strike is still on as it can be seen in the news if you search. It's actually on the last page of the paper with so many other things right now pushing it from our daily consciousness. I mean Britney Spears takes up at least two pages of coverage, add in some Political primary news, and CNN (and most news outlets) haven't said much about the writers strike in recent weeks. Personally I am tried of it all. I hope they finally get a fair deal and soon. Not because I care if the Oscars happen or not, or if I am stuck watching reruns, but there are the "little" people behind the scenes who are really suffering. The effect will no doubt have an effect on the Canadian film industry, but it's upsetting to know that families are going without because of a couple bucks per DVD. It's time to stop insanity and get a deal done soon....

The "majority" of those striking writers (as in roughly 95%) make, on average, $20,000 per episode. Now, say one of those writers writes 15 episodes a season, that comes out to $300,000 a year.
Keep in mind that most TV shows have 22-24 episodes per season. You do the math.
Of course, the folks behind the show 'Cavemen' shouldn't get any money at all. In fact, they should be forced to pay back whatever they got already. But that's just my opinion.
I just heard they reached a deal... more money is coming their way...
