I definately feel that the writers should be more compensated for the DVD sales, since hello that is how the shows are released.
But someone said earlier in the thread that writers "make a show", that can go both ways. I think writers can break a show. Take CSI for example. The show has been tanking in the writers for the past 2-3 seasons. I don't think it has anything to do with the actors, they are just acting with the scripts given to them. I truly believe that it has been the writing. The episodes have been beyond stupid and the long term storylines (i.e. Grissom and Sara together) are just out of the blue and just plain dumb. Where you sitting there scratching your head saying WTF?
It probably doesn't help that Grey's Anatomy is in the same time slot, but honestly if the writing was superb and the episodes were awesome, people would still be watching. But there not, the shows gone completely downhill. IMPO.
Anyways, my point is writers can also break a show. And that a studio's main goal is to have viewers and to make money. If they see a show tanking in the ratings, I'm sure they will take a step back and think "WTF is going on?"
