I just heard this on the news! I hope they get this thing worked out soon before this happens!! :cry:
 
NOOOO!!!!! I look forward to Thursday all week just for Grey's!
 
Me too, Thursday's my favorite day of the week just because of Grey's!!
 
Last time the writers went on strike they were on strike for 4 months so brace yourselves. Plus, just heard tonight that 24 won't even premier in Jan until they have all 24 episodes done and they were only halfway through shooting before the strike started. Then I heard that the actors most likely will go on strike if the writers get what they are asking for and it is resolved... it will make the actors want more as well. Such is life...
 
Man, I will go through withdrawals if that happens!
