Writers Strike 2023
 

Anyone know a site that would list US shows in danger of being cancelled if the writers strike goes ahead :dozey:

Re: Shows in danger
 

Late night chat shows are the biggest at risk, but I don't watch any of them. Most of the series we get in the UK are up to a year later than first showings in the USA.

Re: Shows in danger
 

Anything in development but not yet shooting, potentially also anything mid-production if the writers’ complaints are anything to go by (they say streamers in particular are difficult customers, demanding extensive re-writes mid production).

I think it would be safe to say ALL OF THEM... The sad state of things leaves much to be desired!!

Re: Shows in danger
 

If I remember correctly, and that in its self is questionable. A few shows I was watching ,(my taste is weird ) didn't reappear after the last time , guessing will keep I eye on gektown

Hasn't stopped them showing them in UK in the past.

It's spring, the evening are light. Enjoy a walk, forget tv, it really isn't important, particularly the crap US imports.

Re: Shows in danger
 

What you consider US imports is purley subjectivee based on you preferences.

Star Trek Picard, The Mandolorian being 2 of the recent releases may be of no interest to you but there are many SciFi fans wiating for more.

Having worked for Showmasters Film and Comic Con I know how many are interested in SciFi in this country (including myself). Many are produced in Canada but by US Media with US writers, that's all about tax breaks costs etc.

Csnada also has its own produced SciFi which will not be affected due to Canadian writers such as Jo Mallozzi, Simon Barry etc.

What you view as crap is not the view of many people.

Yeah, they're crap. Blake's 7 beats them all hands down.

Re: Shows in danger
 

Which is why no one takes the crap you spout seriously. :rolleyes:

Re: Shows in danger
 

Sad day when they knocked down the Leeds Polytechnic Brunswick Building at the back of the Merrion Centre to build the First Direct Arena, a piece of British Sci-Fi history went with it (I also did my acoustic qualification there so doubly sad for me).

Re: Shows in danger
 

Blakes 7 was an original piece of gritty, dystopian science fiction for about the first half dozen episodes until Terry Nation started running out of ideas and they began re-hashing props, sets and ideas from Doctor Who. After that it was mostly camp and a bit silly, though always entertaining enough to fill the void left between seasons of Doctor Who.

Nail on head Chris.

Wonder what Mr K has to say about your (and my) take on it?

Hehe I reckon they dont take what I say either mate,I am very unique!!

Re: Shows in danger
 

Finally something I can agree on with you! :D

Re: Shows in danger
 

While not in danger of being cancelled, the strike is delaying The Last of Us Season 2.
