The writer's strike is over.

[Dawggie]

According to Eisner.

Edited due to my lousy spelling.

1. Hurray! n/t

[Dawggie]

6. Good to see you around in this thread!

Yes it's a great thing.

[Fredda Weinberg]

10. Thank you for the report ... I'm enjoying quiet time n/t

[asdjrocky]

2. God I hope so-

It would be great to watch Stewart & Cobert again.

[Beaverhausen]

12. they have been on - have you missed it?

They've been working without writers for about a month. Colbert has been great - Stewart has been pretty good.

[asdjrocky]

17. Naw, I was refusing to watch in protest.

But I can't wait to watch now.

[Laurab]

19. I tried, but couldn't do it. They've done so many shoutouts,

tributes, and references to their writers that they sort of gave them a voice. I especially liked Colbert's comment at the end of one show "To my writers - I know what you're thinking - and I agree". Another night he had a sing-along with his writers pictures going across the screen through the whole thing. Jon has made it an issue too, and calls it "A Daily Show", because without his writers, it's not "The Daily Show". I don't think a single night has passed that they haven't done or said something about their writers.

[asdjrocky]

22. That's nice to know, all I know, is I'm really looking forward to going back!

[villager]

3. Eisner? Where? When?

It can't be completely over until the writers sign off on the deal -- both the west coast and east coast groups are meeting over the next couple of days for a "briefing..."

[Dawggie]

4. On CNBC

[NoPasaran]

5. Halla---Fukken---Looyah!

:woohoo:

[LSparkle]

7. For my friends affected by this work stoppage, I'm glad

but DAMN IT I was hoping this would reduce the bloated, obnoxious, shallow-thon known as the Oscars to a concise press conference.

[Booster]

15. The Oscars are precisely why the strike is over.

[The Straight Story]

8. We need a writer's strike in GD-P

:)

[endarkenment]

13. .

[Turn CO Blue]

27. Ha! Good one.

[kestrel91316]

9. OMG I certainly hope so. It has really taken a whack at my bottom line.

[Dawggie]

11. It seems to be so.

Good luck.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

14. Is there a link to a source?

?

[Dawggie]

18. Only what I heard on CNBC at this point.

Eisner said it.

[MiniMe]

16. Lost may get to finish the season! My day is complete.

Mitt Quit and Lost may get a full season in.

[bluedawg12]

20. On CNBC- the agreement will go to the members Saturday

for a vote.

So, how this ends up and how honest Eisner has been- or is tis a ploy to make business look reasonable while the workers are not???

Take it with a grain of salt--it's CNBC---pro-business flag ship of General Elect.

[Bjorn Against]

21. Yeah I will believe this strike is over when I hear it from the people who are striking.

I am not going to take the words of the CEO at face value when we still haven't heard anything from the people who are actually on strike.

[lonestarnot]

23. Excellent thinking!

And you must be commended! :toast: Carry on! :patriot:

[mitchum]

24. Cool...the monkeys can get back to their filing cabinets and blow

[I work for workers]

25. Over good or over bad?

[RB TexLa]

26. So new garbage on TV for the ignorant soon?

I'm sure they were missing the gibberish.
