Finally, the Strike Ends

It's official. The writer's strike has now ended!! Picketing for better wages beginning back in November, the writers have finally voted to put an end to their fight and go back to work. The board of governors of the union has agreed upon a three year contract with production companies. This is really great news for the nearly 10,000 men and women who have been unemployed for the last few months, refusing to lend their writing talents to many television shows and film productions...

I've really begun to notice how much the writers are needed on late night television shows such as The Daily Show. Jon Stewart was getting pretty bad at coming up with new, funny material. Most of his jokes are extremely outdated or somewhat corny. He was in desparate need of his writers to spruce up the material. The Colbert Report was actually somewhat better without the writers. Stephen Colbert is pretty much one of the most hilarious people ever and was ever to produce sharp, witty material since forced back on the air about a month ago. I'm pretty impressed with his ingenuity and creative work; he can definetly hold his own without the help of a writing team. Nevertheless, the writers will surely spruce up these shows and allow for new episodes of popular sitcoms and dramas to be filmed and aired shortly. Thank God that an agreement was formed, and these talented people are able to work once again.
