Wow, Nilda, that was great. Thanks for the constructive feedback!
Mark my words, m'dear: even if the strike does end in April (not likely since the AMPTP is poised to wait 'til the DGA & SAG contracts are up in June), there will not be new shows over the summer. Sucks, but the networks just don't have the advertising revenue in place to justify showing new shows during the summer. Only if they're making new deals with advertisers now (which isn't likely, since some studios are actually refunding advertiser's $) would new shows during the summer even be a possibility.
Excuse the lapse into sincerity. You know this strike kills me.
EVERYONE is going to need new shows over the summer! Advertisers, flush with cash from not spending much during the strike, will be dying to place advertisements over the summer. The studios will invent a new "summer season" concept to fight over who gets all the overflowing ad money. Bottom line, there will be new episodes of The Office over the summer.
Sorry, luv. As much as I'd LURVE to have new epis of The Office (and you so know I would), the fact is that networks set up their advertising deals during the upfronts, which happen during the summer before the Fall Network Season, when all the new shows premiere, and after all the old shows have proven their new eps' worthiness to the advertisers.
Now, I'll admit that I don't know enough to say whether it would be unprecedented to have advertisers sign a new deal with the networks for the summer months. But I certainly wouldn't expect it.
I love that you're so optimistic, though. Oh, you!
I know what the advertisers "normally" do, but there's just too much money to be made in a summer season for them to say no.
Idea: Wager! Wager!
Oh, you are SO on!
Um... 10 bucks?
