Screen Actors Guild to ask for strike after talks collapse Producers say SAG is asking members to "bail out" failed talks with strike vote. Screen Actors Guild and producers union talks break off. Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers contract expired June 30. Key issue is compensation for work distributed via new media.

Does that mean that there may not be new shows in spring again?

I don't really know enough of the issues involved to have a sensible opinion, but my initial inclination is to side with the actors when they are opposed by the studio. I might have some memories of old stories about how much control the studios used to have over an actor's life. Can't pull up any details at the moment, however.
I think concentrating on books and reading is a great idea. We spend too much time in front of one screen or another.

I am tired of strikes and if they strike I'll just read more book. Many shows I had been watching the last time I'm no longer viewing now. They are going to lose more viewers.
