How did Todd Bridges end up on crack?

Before I am accused I will admit I am a biased person. When it comes to the WGA's 2007 writers strike I am 100% in support of the WGA, and more importantly in support of all my friends who are writers*. I am also biased because I hope to one day be a part of the WGA, and this may affect my future earnings.
I'm not going to bore you with my poorly worded 2nd hand synopsis of what is happening and why, because there is a video (with graphs) you can watch here:
How does this affect you? Ah, I am so glad you asked! You see this is the week you are going to notice more reruns than usual. Yep, the well is drying up and fast. Not only is this affecting your TV guide schedules but also I am hearing the first grumbles of fallout repercussions. People are being laid off at networks. And not people on shows, or around, we are talking the people in the offices.
So now people are out of work, and on top of that they are bored. What can we do?
- Well, if you are in New York you can drop by one of the strike locations and show your support! You can normally catch some famous people there.
- You can also find out more about the strike on these incredibly informative websites and blogs:
Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE)
Writers Guild of America, West

It's a sign of the times. I guess it's true what they say, "Mo' money, mo' problems."
