Strike Diary, Week 1: “The Old Money and the No Money”
I’m one of those people in between the OMs and NMs. And I was relieved by the news of the strike. I know how desperately we need changes. TV writing is no longer a career, it’s a gig. I’m an upper-level writer in my early 40s who came up right after the last strike. I’ve had the experience of working on network shows from 2008-2012 with 20-something episode orders and then going into the cable world where 12 episodes was the max.
I’ve worked two jobs most seasons, and in 2018 and 2021, I worked three. All while developing for free, of course. And I know I’m one of the lucky ones. But I’m also exhausted. My brain is permanently, for better or worse, in half-hour dramedy mode. Now, when I watch football, I don’t need to know anything about the teams playing to know that the one winning at halftime will start to falter in the third quarter, right before pulling out a victory in the end.
