The writers strike is finally over.

Can’t wait to do it all over again in 3 years!

You can get totally updated @ TV Week’s WGA Strike Central and Stuart Elliot talks with media planners/buyers about the outlook for the rest of this season and moving forward.

But if you just want a candid take from a writer who is friends with lots of writers, read what ESPN’s Bill Simmons has to say:

A three-year deal that looks a lot like the DGA deal that was banged out without a strike. My only question/hesitation is this: What happens when the deal ends? Do we just go through this whole debacle again? There’s no way the writers can make up in residuals over the next three years what they just lost in three-plus months of striking, so I’m guessing the “success” here is that the writers are on the books with a certain level of entitlement to DVD and Internet residuals for the next time negotiations unfold. But what if Hollywood says after three years, “Crap, we gave too much away the last time” and puts the screws down again. Then what? Where are the assurances this can’t happen again? I still don’t see how it was worth it to give away three-plus months of paychecks so Hollywood could save itself billions from bad deals and reconfigure the way it approaches upfronts and pilot season. But what do I know?

Let’s just hope that LOST is over by then…

Soap on a rope is never NOT funny.

But we’re not sure it sells cars.

Liquid soap can’t go on a rope.
