Dear Mike D, As anybody who has driven past a studio in the last two and a half months can tell you, the writers are always out there. As early as 5:30 am until evening, depending on the studio. You're just silly.

Hm, Mike D. So writers should have been picketing outside of studios closed for the holidays themselves? FYI, picketing goes on for six hours a day at some studios and nine hours a day at others. That newscaster you saw was probably just trying to make the picketers walk faster -- since they are known to take their time (purposefully) when walking the line. Anyway, thank you Mr. Elisberg for a nice post.

Your article is just a bit wrong. I work in the business and they picket for about 5 hours a day at most studios. They stay at NBC longer because they have a better chance of being seen. They took at least a 2 week "Break" around the holidays, and not 1 picket was visible. They do not picket when it rains either. FAIR WEATHER PICKETERS!!! I am personally insulted at the amount of effort i've witnessed on the part of the WGA, I even saw a Newscaster directing about 5 picketers walking in a circle for a newscast. Is this real???
