At least one hard-to-please critic at Paramount feels let down by the WGA picketers' early attempts at creating some megaphone-enhanced excitement within the non-striking population at the Melrose lot: "The chanting has begun. It's already getting old. I love a good strike as much as the next person but you would think writers could come up with better chants than the standard "What do we want?... When do we want it?.." Lame."

We'd urge others to give the Guild members some more time before negatively evaluating their efforts, as it could take a day or two for the writers to cohere creatively—or for studio emperor Brad Grey to embrace the vigilante tactics of the Sunset-Gower strike-breaker by plowing into a crowd of red-shirted protestors with his car, providing the kind of outrage-inducing incident that will inspire them to do their best work.
