I go to Emerson College, which is a small school in Boston with some reasonably big media connections. This semester I took a television studies seminar, and the head of a well-known production company came in to talk to our class (he was an alum, his daughter is a student, etc) and one of the things he mentioned was that we should expect to see a lot more reality programming than usual on the fall schedule (fall '07) as well as a lot of networks ordering early production of their scripted series (as for example NBC ordered for Friday Night Lights), both as a result of the nets getting nervous and trying to cover their asses in case of a WGA strike. So yes, one of the things I've been wondering during all of this is how coincidental the launch of FanLib is with regard to the potential strike. After all, why hire writers when you can steal writing for free off the Internet?
