Christmas strikes again, well with a little bit of picketing and tough talk. Down in the south, at Tyler Perry Studios, The Writers Guild of America has reached an agreement on a new contract for the writers of ‘House of Payne.’
Back in 2006, TBS launched an unprecedented 100-episode order that was slated to air the following year, a task that would be blinding for any team of writers. Imagine how hard it is for this team of seven writers to deliver 100 episodes, but do they deserves all of this?
These are the gifts Santa Perry was forced to leave for the writers in their chimney socks: A 15 % increase in minimum weekly salaries, 20% minimum increase for scripts and a 20% increase in residual payments.
Seems like Perry has a history of being a scrooge, earlier this year in May, Perry had to deal with employees attempting to unionize and protest at the opening of Perry’s studio facilities in Atlanta Georgia. Ultimately leading to a dramatic deal being reached between the WGA and Perry.
Do the writers deserve a raise?
Tyler Perry Studios in know for producing shows on TBS such as ‘House Of Payne,’ ‘Meet The Browns,’ and the most recent ‘For Better For Worse’ starring Michael Jai White and Tasha Smith that airs every Friday at 10pm.
Earlier this year, Tyler Perry was recognized as the highest paid man in Hollywood.
They deserve that money for the extra ordinary amount of work that they did. That being said, the work was crap. HORRIBLE show.
LMAO. bad acting or bad writing?
A huge amount of both.
They should get a raise to become creative at all.. every show is the same… “insert lame joke here” is written on the script” At least they added another room to the set, they lived in the living room for the entire first season.
Yeah I agree with you. Lol @ they lived in the living room the first season.
It’s for the better.
I think he should just stop and leave well enough alone. He has syndication so he will always get paid. who you should consider paying is The Actors, if it wasn’t for Uncle Curtis and Aunt Ela were would we be?
thats a little over-critical. bad writing and acting? the best shows are the ones that were about issues like the pedophile up the street. and they really delievred! The every show in living comment was pretty funny. bu that adds to the elements of the show. you have to be pretty different nowadays. i like show personally
