OK. So the news hit on Wednesday, but I was waiting on a key piece of information before I'd be ready to talk about it here.
Nikki Finke has the best coverage, for the most part, but had missed one key point: what happened to the fired writers?
It took a weekend of Google alerts, but I found out that they received a financial settlement from Tyler Perry's company for an undisclosed amount. I imagine that it will include residuals for the episodes they already completed work on, but can't say for certain.
So, Mr. Tyler "I'm not Disney/I haven't seen one thin dime" Perry fought the WGA...and the WGA won. On a Thanksgiving weekend that was hard to find things to be thankful for on a personal level, this managed to make it on to that unfortunately short list.

Too bad, the Commies won again. :(
Dan? Get back to work.
Who's Dan? Is this Communist codetalk for something?
