What some are hoping will become the last major picket line of the strike - though that’s far from certain at this point - has the WGA targeting Disney/ABC on Thursday. But I wouldn’t invest in the marketing pens just yet.
While strike weariness is setting in on several fronts, the simple facts are that no one really knows what the draft proposal between the WGA and AMPTP contains just yet. So the Fox president can tell Super Bowl pals the strike’s over all he wants, but no one hoping for more episodes of House this year should get their hopes up just yet.
The picket line at Disney/ABC is a major event, and if it becomes the “last gasp” of the strike, I’m sure everyone will be happy about it. But until a deal is actually reached and writers start, well… writing again… it’s a bit premature.
