So interesting that you posted this video today b/c in my T.V. Network Management class at UCLA tonight Greg Daniels was our guest (he’s the creator/showrunner for The Office… the guy in the glasses in the video). He was talking all about the strike and people in the class were asking him about the youtube video which he apparently hadn’t even seen yet.
In any event, it’s all very interesting and I suspect the strike will ultimately hurry along the TV migration to the Internet (something Daniels told us he thinks will be a definite result). If the networks hold out and the strike goes on and on, more and more writers will begin circumventing the networks altogether… getting funding from third party investors and then making the shows direct to Internet w/o the conglomerate stranglehold to worry about. We’ll see how it all plays out. I’ll probably blog about this whole thing in depth next week.
