He's using their work, no? -- nm - Krusty May 12, 15:01 7
- Shows continue to run based on previously written stuff. If he was writing new stuff that's a problem. -- nm - Reagen May 12, 15:04
- By this logic, every production should close during the writer's strike. -- nm - David May 12, 15:04 5
  - Correct. They should. If the people that write the work you're using are on strike, I believe you should be on strike with them. -- (edited) - Krusty May 12, 15:14
  - that's a question for non-writers who have contractual obligations. but in general, yes. Steve Carell shut The Office down in 2007 out of solidarity -- (link) - hollywood big shot May 12, 15:08 3
    - in theory showrunners are obligated to perform non-writing duties on shows wearing their producer hats. unlike 2007, almost none of them are complying -- nm - hollywood big shot May 12, 15:12
    - That was a show where a great portion of the actors were also writers for it. -- nm - Reagen May 12, 15:12 1
      - they had scripts in the can to shoot (the Dinner Party ep). Steve just said he wouldn't do it, contract notwithstanding -- nm - hollywood big shot May 12, 15:13
