    He can't be a scab, he's the employer.

    The OP is mistaken, it is Letterman who the scab is, he made a deal with the writer's union. Leno did his show WITHOUT writers, so did Jimmy Kimmel...

    Dave sucked even with writers....

    Why don't they just fire the damned writers and hire some new ones. Are the writers of TV shows really that hard to replace? Just go out to some college campuses and find some people who can write. How hard is that? Maybe we'd get some new ideas, too; instead of the same old crap all the time.

    To damn many late night shows with comics running them IMO. They should just shut them all down and put on reality shows which cost nothing to make and don't require writers!

    I wondered why they didn't bring in writers from let's say England? After all half of the shows originated in England. Coupling was much better than Friends.
     
  10. because you have to translate it into American, not everyone understands British humor, timing, gags, inside jokes or innuendo. it took years for many people to get "Monty Python"

    they understood Benny Hill, because he was a hillbilly from England

    I think unions are stupid. I'm glad they're on strike/gone for now. Good riddance.
     
  12. thanks for your opinion, but many people feel that they need some way to fight robber barons, ever heard of "united we stand"?

    Stop bitching about Leno. The other late nights comedians are reading their scripts too. The biggest scab is still Dave, who made a DEAL with the union, which is not exactly the best for standing united....His show still sucks, which begs the question of : "do we really need writers?"
     
  14. I don't like him, every time you pay $3.50 for a gallon of gas, thank his buddies;
    he was in on Enron, they paraded him & Arnold as bought men

    not sure if you remember the 2002 energy crisis? read this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/1972574.stm

    apparently, you don't know what the term "scab" means, here's a definition:
