As promised thousands of Writers for TV Shows, Movies and other properties have walked out until their demands such as increased royalties are met. The strikers hit all Major Studios including WB, Sony, Universal, Fox and others. Even Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Simpson's Producer James Brooks joined the strikers on the front lines. If this does not end soon the affect will be felt for months and months to come. Since writers are the back-bone of every Show and Movie, should they get more in royalty payments? I say "YES"!
What about you?

Among the shows shuttered for the day: "The New Adventures of Old Christine" and "The Office."
"Christine" star Julia Louis-Dreyfus joined the show's writers at Gate 2, as they crossed back and forth across the street chanting "On Strike. Shut 'em down. Hollywood's a union town" and "Are you ready to fight? Damn right!"
"As a member of (SAG), I'm here to show my solidarity," Louis-Dreyfus said. "A lot of the issues the Writers Guild of America is negotiating right now, are many of the same issues the Screen Actors Guild will be negotiating soon.
"I stand behind the leadership of the Writers Guild," she added.
