Hollywood TV & movie strike

[Turkeytop]

It is sort of interesting that every late night host can't just wing it without writers. For the most part, isn't that what Colbert and Kimmel have been doing all along? Stand there and blurt out bar talk.

So Gutfeld can still do it, while the others lack the gray matter.

Could it be they just choose not to violate the picket line?

[zzand]

Could be but in this case without the writes the show does not go on.

Hollywood Smollywood. These writers mostly stink anymore, so strike all you want, it's your right to not to work and spare us from this rubbage.

They can stop holding that gun to your head and making you watch while they are at it…

The last nighttime host on the big three worth watching was Leno.

Agreed

When we were in Florida this year, Leno was on every night at midnight, running some kind of game show

Too bad he isn’t the least bit funny. Carlin was funny. Gutfeld is as funny as open heart surgery.

If you're talking about sitcoms, you are correct. What I used to call The Mork & Mindy Syndrome. More recently Big Bang Theory is a good example.

The show starts out with just a few main characters. And it's a great show. Then the writing gets stale. The writers start running out of ideas. Instead of hiring new writers with fresh ideas, the same writers bring in more characters. And in my opinion it makes the show a little less special and a little too hectic. Just my view.

Isn't that exactly how "jump the shark" became a common idiom?

Really it’s literally that… there was a show where that happened… after that it could no longer be taken seriously.

Leno hosts You Bet Your Life, a revival of the Groucho Marx game show.

That came from Happy Days where they were running out of ideas and had Fonzie literally "jump a shark". It's also called "Ted McGinley Syndrome". Love Boat, Happy Days, Married...With Children...once he shows up, the clock is ticking.

Is anyone shocked that the leader of the god squad doesn't like Hollywood?

[audiophile]

I just think they are mostly self-absorbed narcissists. Not all, but most...

Besides TT agrees with Me...
