End of the Writers strike.

Finally the writers strike has come to an end, and although this is very good for all of us TV and Film fans, but did the writers get what they deserved?
The most important thing for the writers was to get paid for there work when it has been distributed on the net. (i.e Itunes type download services and Studio owned websites such as NBC or FOX) And this is exactly what they got, even if it wont kick in for a few years so that the Studios etc have the time to gauge exactly how popular and most importantly for them how much money they can make of it.

Some shows can now go into filming for the rest of there cut short season, shows like Lost will take a short break and return a few months later with the rest of the season, but some other shows have not been as lucky. Heroes for example has been pushed right back to the Fall TV schedule and 24 has been scrapped for this year altogether. (Although to me thats no bad thing as the show has not played to its full potential recently) While some shows that were sure to be big hits have been cancelled such as Reaper a show that im not too fond of, but deserved its slot on TV and im sure would have had a lot of people watching if they had just let the writeing and filming process get back into motion.

So overall its a good result for Fans, Studios and writers alike and now i will be counting the clock untill the actors go on strike or will the Studios actually be smart enough to settle before there contracts expire.. i doubt it.
