Writer’s Strike May Have Reached An End

February 7th, 2008 // 2 Comments

A deal has been struck between the major media companies and the Writers Guild of America to end the writers’ strike, former Walt Disney

“It’s over,” Eisner said. “They made the deal, they shook hands on the deal. It’s going on Saturday to the writers in general.”

Eisner, speaking live on CNBC’s “Fast Money,” seemed to hesitate initially about whether it was possible that the writers could still reject the agreement, but finally suggested the deal’s acceptance was inevitable.

“A deal has been made, and they’ll be back to work very soon,” Eisner said, adding, “I know a deal’s been made. I know it’s over.”

The question remains, are we still screwed this television season?

    I like Kathy Griffin’s sign. And I’m hoping they like their deal enough to finish the rest of the Lost episodes this season!
