Hollywood writers have started a strike after going 20 years without one. Writers are picketing on both coasts from all varieties of tv from late night shows to soap operas. Most shows that are taped “live” like the late night comedies have immediately gone into re runs. This doesn’t immediately affect script run tv shows and movies as they have stockpiled scripts and stories in preparation for this event.

Back in 1988 a similar strike happened causing Hollywood to lose $500 million dollars!
