The WGA is starfucking so compulsively, so thoroughly, that they’ve already run through all the actors, and have now turned to balling themselves. Yesterday at CBS Radford, my picket line ground to a crawl so ninety-one year-old Sherwood Schwartz (creator of Gilligan’s Island and the Brady Bunch) could take a lap with his son and grandson (all in the business!). There was a big announcement, and then they slowly, ceremonially (painfully) circled one time, before setting up off to the side for interviews and photo ops. If this powerful image of institutionalized nepotism doesn’t bring management to its knees, I don’t know what will.
