More developments in the writer's strike

Tonight, "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report" both return without their writers. Both heavily rely on them. How will they fare? Both shows exist on the genius of their hosts, but both will certainly be crippled somewhat by the lack of the writers.
Still, will viewers care? They should. The quality won't be the same. If you think Stephen Colbert or Jon Stewart writes all those funny lines, you're wrong.
And with the Golden Globes coming this weekend -- that actors have pledged to boycott
because of the strike -- this will be a week when viewers will see firsthand what the strike is doing.
Again, the question is, will they care? And the answer is, again, they should. The writers are asking for basic issues -- compensation for their work on the Internet and on DVD.
Greed is a terrible thing. And that's what the producers are standing behind.
A good measure of where things stand is the Writer's Guild blog, United Hollywood. The latest issues are spelled out, with both pro and con reaction. You can see the issues as they happen.
