Fan Actions Kicking off the New Year

LiveJournal's Fans for the WGA group has been brainstorming and executing on a variety of fan actions over the course of the strike, and this week's fan action is of particular importance considering what's about to go down on the airwaves tonight.

Letterman, Leno, Kimmel, Conan, and Ferguson are going back to work, and most of them are going back without their respective writing staffs. But they're not going back by choice. As WGA members who've been public and consistent supporters of the strike, Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien and Jimmy Kimmel are being forced back to work by their employers, and the wga_supporters fan action gives people the information they need to contact NBC, GE, ABC and Disney and voice their displeasure.

Elsewhere in the blogosphere, the Criminal Minds fandom has spoken up and asked Les Moonves why he isn't doing anything to help put their favorite show back on the air. That question sounded a chord with Criminal Minds executive producer Ed Bernero, who's already written in to add his thoughts to the debate.

Finally, here's some video of the fans4writers sky writing at the Rose Parade.
