the writers strike is a big movement in hollywood about the screen writers. basically the writers guild (you have to be in it if you are going to write for movies or TV) has said, "We get paid for airings on TV, but not on the internet!" We can go online now and watch our favorite shows for free, and the writers are aggrivated because no one is paying them for those showings.

They are still on strike, now the 30 minute comedies are all off and soon it will be the one hour dramas. Eventually, if this continues for too long, it will reach the movies and everything on TV or in the theatre will be reality shows and documentaries.

They are on strike in hopes of gaining more money for each script return right now I think its like 4 cents a piece, they want 8 cents. As well as money profits for each movie/show downloaded on ipods and computers or off youtube etc.

The writers are in a union and already some are getting laid off over this, they have a great reason to be concerned though I really hope it's resolved so I get to watch my shows soon.

There are some good youtube videos that answer your questions.

whats happening is that the writers for some tv shows are going on strike because they aren't getting paid enough. And then some actors and actresses are refusing to act if the writers don't get a raise.

Yeah, that happens. It's going on right now because writers aren't getting paid enough.
I put a star on the question because it's kewl!!
