The writer’s strike is over, folks! The season may be saved and we might not have to sit through and endless supply of reality television. In fact, Michael Eisner made an announcment last night.
During a CNBC interview, Eisner — who now runs his own investment company and hosts an occasional talk show on the network — told “Fast Company” anchor Dylan Rattigan: “They [studios and writers] made the deal, they shook hands on the deal. It’s going on Saturday to the writers in general” for agreement.
Eisner was apparently referring to scheduled meetings here and in Los Angeles between writers and the Writers Guild scheduled for tomorrow. He added, “A deal has been made. They’ll be back to work very soon. I know it’s over.”
Thank goodness. I was afraid I wouldn’t get to see the entire season of “Lost”. It’s bad enough I’m only getting 16 episodes over the next three years. The writers aren’t offering comment, however so we won’t receive “real” confirmation until after the weekend.
