endless creativity and they dont even pay you? i can only suppose that by the lack of a commitment to another season you are holding out for more. i wonder if the striking writers got rid of their tvs too?

tacky meter. i work on the same formula as the writers. free showings on the internet for 17 weeks, after that it's 2 percent of the gross ad revenue.

the next rounds on moi.
