Awesome, dunno why it took this long
Mostly since in December, the studios refused to resume talks with the writers again until the writers basically backed down. Then the DGA(Directors Guild of America) came up with a deal with the studios in January(they were fighting for the same things the writers fought for)and the writers basically used the directors' deal as a template for their deal.
The SAG(Screen Actors' Guild) is also facing the same exact conflict the writers had and are threatening to strike in June if no deal is reached. But since this strike has ended, it's highly unlikely the actors will actually strike and very likely that a deal will be made before the actors' contracts expire. Plus if they do strike, I won't support them as I did the writers.
As you can see, I've clearly spent too much of my time researching the strike.
Like so:

I'm pretty sure there was a previous strike a few years ago that lasted way, way longer.
And by a few years... I mean it could've been in the Seventies. XD

I'm too lazy to look up the facts.
YAY HOMEWORK.
Yup. This strike lasted exactly 100 days and the last strike(1988) lasted 153 days.
