This is the most ridiculous crap I've ever heard. These writers need to get over themselves. They should be treated fairly but they are going way too far. The non-writing staff should not have to suffer for this. It's completely unfair to the other "grunt" workers to go without because the writers aren't getting extra money. They are all overpaid anyway.

There's no need to make a strike out of this. I can't believe they are willing to screw the rest of the staff members just so they can be richer than they already are. I'm sure they don't get paid as handsomely as the actors but I know they get paid more than enough. Hollywood is a cesspool. I don't pity people in the entertainment industry. I love entertainment. I don't want to see my favorite shows go off the air but I don't feel sympathy for them. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Greedy, greedy, greedy.

**EYE ROLL** Even bigger that the other persons! Nobody's happy unless someone is bashin' someone else! For goodness sake! Everyone has their reasons. Smile on your brothers people, GET ALONG! It's not like they don't have a job, a little grattitude people!!! HUH? HUH?

She should be supporting the writers because for one:
she in the writers guild
she is a writer
she is in the union

oh that's 3 reasons

want more???

Why should she be supporting the writers? Because all they want is more money? Because they're doing nothing but harming themselves by being greedy? Your right, thats definately why she should support them *eye roll* atleast in the dog situation the dog was grateful... obviously the writers could learn something from him.

Wow, looks like the lady who stole Iggy back has been on this site bashing Ellen.

I suppose Ellen forgot about Stonewall I didn't my brother was injured in that event!

Well put. But I do think Ellen should’ve supported the writers as well. She is sort of sending off a message of “I don’t give a f*ck and my viewers shouldn’t give a f*ck either.” And that is probably not her intentions at all. But that’s how it is perceived. Hopefully the strike is over soon. I cant live without The Office and Heroes. Something inside me will die

Cant blame Ellen. She isnt thinking clearly. She's got pussy on the mind. Pussy and money. She is a regular OG. Gotta give it to her

I'm hoping that the anonymous person who continues to just write derogatory comments like, "carpet eating SCAB" and "scabby bleep" is not one of the writers who is on strike. If so, you need not be on strike. You need a new job. Ellen had a contractual agreement to fulfill and she is NOT a SCAB since she is not a member of the writer's union. I'm sure if she would have had a way to stand by the writers and still fulfill her obligations, she would have. And, since I can already forsee your highly intelligent comments; I'm not a lesbian. Save your high-brow writing for the "South Park" set.
Much luv...Tiff

She is gorgeous. seems saw her before on a celebrity and millioniare dating site like wealthymingle.com or something. But don't know if it is her.

I support Ellen. The Strikers have a reason to strike, but Ellen also has a reason to support her fans. I would be pissed off if I traveled to CA to see the show and it was cancled out of "loyalty" to the writers. These striking writers make more money than the reset of us. It is the fans that get the ratings and the ratings pay everyone in Hollywod and yes that includes the striking writers. FYI to the strikers: ELLEN SIGNED A CONTRACT AND CANNOT STRIKE. Maybe the writers should learn to read.

sounds like YOU are the gay one.

Most of us do not care a hoot how unions work...and many of us have to deal with their ridiculous expectations, ridiculous "you owe me" attitudes. Unions were important in the days of "The Jungle" but today, they are out-dated and completely unnecessary. They protect marginal workers and fill the pockets of their esteemed leaders. I am NOT in a union but I have been perfectly capable of working hard, earning a very respectable living and being responsible for my actions --- something most union employees appear unable to do.

I think Ellen did a good thing. The writers are replaceable and it is the fans that will stick with her and more important for her to cater to. You don't easily get tickets to her show--I tried once to see if I could get some to take my grandmother out there--and have to buy really far in advance and your plans revolve around that show. People shouldn't have to suffer because of the writers' money squabble. I don't think the writers are unreasonable in what they are asking for, but the fans who will be very much inconvenienced should also be thought of and it isn't their problem. Plus, let's face it--Ellen doesn't really need writers. She is witty enough to do it without them.
