Shows affected by the strike

[Raph's Girl]

I thought folks might be interested in a list of the shows that have had their production halted due to the strike:

Talk shows: All of em!! Jay Leno helped out by giving the strikers some donuts...

Soaps: All of em....expect reruns to start within the next month.

Regular tv shows:
Back To You
Heroes (season might end in December)
Heroes: Origins (cancelled before it could even start)
Lost (only 9 eps filmed)
24 (now called 8...hahahaha...)
Back To You
The New Adventures of Old Christine (Julia Louise Dryfus is one of the strikers)
Till Death
2 and 1/2 Men
Big Bang Theory (I love this show)
Desperate Housewives (Eva Longoria gave pizza to the strikers)
Gossip Girl
30 Rock (Al Gore is on this week *L*)
Rules of Engagement

[愛]

Big Bang Theory is affected? F*ck this, I quit life.

[Raph's Girl]

Welp.. Smallville's been added to the list. If the strike lasts long then the season will end in February...at a cliffhanger.....Argh!!! :ohwell:

Here's what Gough and Millar said:
We were able to complete scripts for 15 episodes. Episode 15 is a cliffhanger. To the best of my knowledge, the studio plans to produce all of them. If there isn't a quick resolution, then the season ends in February. It is our wish that this strike will be resolved quickly so that we can get back to doing what we love -- writing.

[ZariusTwo]

Every season of Smallville has ended with a cliffhanger anyway, and fifteen is almost darn closer to the full number than most series.

[Cure]

Looks like my new favorite shows Chuck and Pushing Daisies are fine.

Rules of Engagement

First off, let me ask... is this a total, or partial list.

Remarks...

Back to you, Till death, Big Bang, Rules of Engagement, Gossip Gilrs, The New Adventures of Old Christine.... HA HA!

Don't see why Heroes Origins can't be post poned until they get back, and be on the scedual as soon as this is over. I also know that Fox's Animated Line up and the Futurama movies will also be affected. While the Animated shows will be fine till the end of the season (or so) the next season of each show will be post poned. Plus, there will be no going back and adding stuff last minute.

Seems my favorites, Pushing Daisies, the Office, My Name is Earl, and Reaper aren't on that list. But it could just be a partial list.

I also hear Scrubs will end the series on an incomplete note because they can't finish the series off in time.

[ZariusTwo]

Seems my favorites, Pushing Daisies, the Office, My Name is Earl, and Reaper aren't on that list. But it could just be a partial list.

The Office only had one more episode to film, but the cast went on strike before they could do so

[Spitfire]

Glad I don't watch TV

[VaughnMichael]

The Office only had one more episode to film, but the cast went on strike before they could do so
Damn it! I've really begun to like that show.

[BubblyShell22]

Uh-oh! My mom watches Desperate Housewives so she isn't gonna like this. At least House hasn't been affected yet, which is a good thing since Heroes has been affected. And I guess I won't be seeing anymore new Family Guy episodes for a little while. Oh well, I'll just have to deal with it.

[ZariusTwo]

FG's entire episode production for this season is complete, so is The Simpsons.

[JetsAndHeels]

Welp.. Smallville's been added to the list. If the strike lasts long then the season will end in February...at a cliffhanger.....Argh!!! :ohwell:

This could be the final nail in the coffin for Smallville. I hope I am wrong, but it very well could be it.

[Raph's Girl]

First off, let me ask... is this a total, or partial list.

Partial list. More and more shows are coming out as being effected everyday.

And now to add to the list.... SNL...but nobody cares about that anyways.... :P

E.R has been effected by the strike. The entire cast joined the strikers today (lead by of course the series current star, John Stamos). Yea ER is still on after what 20 years?....

Grey's Anatomy: Patrick Dempsy says they may have enough eps thru December.

[Drtooth]

And now to add to the list.... SNL...but nobody cares about that anyways.... :P

SNL is dog shizzy now. Especially with Andy Samberg's self serving "comedy" segments. I give him credit fore the Swedish Chef thing (but I could totally do a better Chef impersonation than him).

This still sucks. I mean, I broke down and realised that the writers do deserve this, but seriously. it's the entertainment INDUSTRY. They are a business like everything else. And like most businesses, they'd love to just go back and over turn that whole "anti-slavery" thing and have everyone work for free. Not just one race, but all of us. The writers should have known they are in a business that still wonders how the hell the "talkies" are affecting radio. This is all about new technology that the board of geezers are actually scared of. I'm surprised they didn't call a priest and set the technogeeks on fire for being witches. You get the point, right? I don't have to come up with another overexaggeration joke, do I?

But this industry has been behind the times for a while, and still are. Read my "This is Rediculous" thread. That's what's going on.

But then the writers are lucky they have the luxury to strike. There are people really being exploited by the pure business conglomerates who can't even ask for a raise, because the paltry sum they make is so important, risking losing their job would cripple the family.

Fact it, Corporations, entertaiment or otherwise are run by corrupt, greedy, Flintheart Glomgold types. The writers should be lucky they have the only jobs you can't outsource to India, Mexico, or China....yet.

[Raph's Girl]

From Comics Continuum:

Because of the Writers Guild strike, Fox has delayed the new season of 24 and altered the schedule of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. The new series, based on the Terminator movie franchise, will premiere with a two-parter on Sunday, Jan. 13 and Monday, Jan. 14. It will air Mondays at 9 p.m.

Well...if Heroes ends in December I'll be able to watch Sarah Connor Chronicles with no issue. :ohwell:

[Peanut]

Is South Park being affected by this? I'm hoping they'll actually just write a show about it.

[GK Punk]

This could be the final nail in the coffin for Smallville. I hope I am wrong, but it very well could be it.

That's what I've been worried about. It's been on the verge of cancellation anyway. This just may set it over the top.

[Jester]

That's what I've been worried about. It's been on the verge of cancellation anyway. This just may set it over the top.
Really, why's that? Man I need to read more Superman fan sites...

[Raph's Girl]

Is South Park being affected by this? I'm hoping they'll actually just write a show about it.

No. Animation is not effected by the strike. Just live action stuff.

[GK Punk]

Really, why's that? Man I need to read more Superman fan sites...

It's ratings haven't lived up to their expectations for the last few seasons. The ratings went up during the hype for Superman Returns, then went back to normal the next season.

[Jester]

Well, crap. Although I wonder what the grand SNL's ratings are since the general consensus is that that show stopped being funny when Ferrel and Katan left.

[GK Punk]

I think the fact that SNL is "SNL" is all that is keeping it on the air these days.

[Raph's Girl]

It's ratings haven't lived up to their expectations for the last few seasons. The ratings went up during the hype for Superman Returns, then went back to normal the next season.

Actually ratings for Smallville this season are pretty good. They're higher than ever.

[Jester]

Kinda what I thought...Bill Murry said it best:
In the year 2525, if network television can survive
and if Lorne Michaels is still alive,
there will be a Saturday Night Live!

[GK Punk]

Actually ratings for Smallville this season are pretty good. They're higher than ever.

Go back and read what I said. For the last few seasons. I wasn't counting this season's ratings yet, because they could still go down. Thats why the strike makes me worry about the future of the show.

And See? Supergirl = Ratings.

[Jester]

Maybe. Is this the first season where Clark is Kent-less? (Both of his parents away)

[Toonami Tom]

It's really, really crummy that 24 is being delayed. I wish they would go ahead and show the 8 episodes they have, I want my 24 fix.:D

I'm glad animation isn't being effected. Bring on the new Aqua Teen Hunger Force episodes! I think they are suppose to start in December. Yay!

[GK Punk]

Maybe. Is this the first season where Clark is Kent-less? (Both of his parents away)

Yeah, it is. That's one of the reasons they introduced Kara. (That and they seem to believe pretty girls = instant ratings boost.)

[Jester]

I liked Smallville because it showed how much the Kents molded Clark into Superman, with them both gone, my reason for watching is kinda lost. That and I've never much liked this incarnation of Lana.

[JetsAndHeels]

Lana has absolutely ruined the show. No two ways about it.

[Peanut]

No. Animation is not effected by the strike. Just live action stuff.

Really? I could have sworn animated shows had writers too...

Well, good news none-the-less.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Its going to be a cold, cold for TV viewing. Studios are trying to take away residuals from the writers, which is cold-blooded. I fully support what the writers are doing. Unfortunately, a lot of new shows I was enjoying will probably take a hit or get canceled outright because of this (Gossip Girl, Bionic Woman, Life, and several others). Its sad, but necessary.

Oh well, fu*k TV. Super Mario Galaxy (at least when I get home from my annual trip to hell next week) will arrive in my mailbox my next week. :) :)

[GK Punk]

Really? I could have sworn animated shows had writers too...

Well, good news none-the-less.

See, I read somewhere that the reason South Park wasn't affected wasn't because cartoon writers weren't on strike, but because the entire season has already finished the scripting process.

[Mr. Snackpants]

See, I read somewhere that the reason South Park wasn't affected wasn't because cartoon writers weren't on strike, but because the entire season has already finished the scripting process.

Yeah I heard the same thing about FG and the Simpsons.

....wait I think I heard that in this thread....

[ZariusTwo]

SP is non-union and only distributed through Comedy Central, not produced by it, they will be returning for a new season regardles. Other shows are produced AND distributed by major networks.

[GK Punk]

Yeah I heard the same thing about FG and the Simpsons.

....wait I think I heard that in this thread....

I read it on a news website. I haven't even read most of this thread to be honest.

[Cure]

Don't Trey and Matt write South Park, anyway? Don't they do in fact like, 80% of the work?

[ZariusTwo]

Trey writes the scripts, but like I said, they can still produce the show because it's independent

Cartoon characters may come to the aid of striking Hollywood screenwriters if the Writers Guild of America's two-day-old walkout turns out to be prolonged.

Most animated shows are covered by a different union from the Writers Guild and are unaffected by the WGA strike. In addition, the WGA has withdrawn objections to its members working in animation.

Some 12,000 WGA members went on strike against film and television studios on Monday, jeopardizing America's hit TV shows including some animated programs like "The Simpsons," which are covered under WGA contracts.

But many other animated films and TV shows are covered by a separate union whose members remain on the job, said Steven Hulett of the Animation Guild Local 839, part of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE).

The two guilds clashed recently when the WGA proposed a strike rule threatening members who entered a writing contract on animated features with fines and loss of membership. After protests, the WGA said the proposed rule was modified.

"Now writers can write for animated features," Hulett said, adding that many writers are still nervous. "I suspect we'll get more (calls) over the next few weeks, if the strike goes on for long."

So see.. animation is part of another guild entirely!

[Raph's Girl]

There's now a petition for everyone to sign to support the strikers! Go sign it!

[Cure]

You could've just posted this in one of the million other threads concerning the strike.

[Deathknight]

Suprised it wasn't listed that The Daily Show and Colbert Report are in re-runs because of the strike also. Very upsetting to me, I love those shows. Suprised to see Lost on the list, didn't even know they had started filming season 4 nor did I know how they planned on having a season 4 after how the last season ended.

Signed. If they're not going to listen to the Strikers, they will have to listen to the consumers that give them the money and power to exploit people.

[ZariusTwo]

Add "Torchwood" to the list of shows not affected

[Raph's Girl]

Add "Torchwood" to the list of shows not affected

Torchwood, Sarah Jane Adventures, Robin Hood....

[Roseangelo]

Any show not made in the US isn't going to be affected. :dead:

[ZariusTwo]

Torchwood, Sarah Jane Adventures, Robin Hood....

SJA and Robin Hood have finished filming their seasons, Torchwood hasnt, so it counts here

[Jo Dawn]

Know what the best irony of this is? I really don't care, and I dont watch alot of TV... But of the few shows I will watch if I feel like it? All but one are unaffected.

[Deathknight]

Wow, that's a really long list of shows. I really hope they settle this strike soon.

[Raph's Girl]

SJA and Robin Hood have finished filming their seasons, Torchwood hasnt, so it counts here

No.. they dont count because only American shows are affected by the strike. So any show on BBC America (like Doctor Who, Robin Hood, and Torchwood) wouldn't be affected.... :P

[Janus Prospero]

I just want to say that this is clown shoes. I understand that the writers desire a better contract, but it's just sad that the fans are the ones that really lose out.

The AMPTP needs to get in there and start making compromises before this gets out of hand. Their whole, "We're not going to negotiate with a gun to our heads—that's just stupid" is some hard-headed ****.

[Drtooth]

That's what i've been saying. They're only hurting themselves and the fans. The networks will rebound with a million moronic trashy relaity shows that people will still watch. I just say, sign the petition. May work. If they can't listen to the writers, maybe they'll listen to the viewers.

The only solution is to not watch TV at all when all the episodes of everything are in reruns and finished.

As for the Family Guy thing, I really hope it doesn't ammount to Seth pulling the show, or getting fired from it. We do NOT want a John K. situation on that one.

I really hope this will be settled ASAP, but it won't. in fact, I'll be surprised if they settle it at all.

[BubblyShell22]

I agree. Most of the shows I watch are affected, so after they end their new episodes, I won't be watching much TV. Well, at least I get to watch The Amazing Race. Say what you want about reality shows, but this one is awesome. You get to go around the world without leaving your home. That's cool.

[Drtooth]

All I can say is I can't wait to see NBC slaughter the hell out of the UK episodes of the Office for time constraints and standards and practices. I can't wait to see the giant inflatable man part pixilated out (when it aired on PBS virtually unedited)

[Raph's Girl]

Some new shows have been added to the list:

According to Jim - Yea uh don't expect any eps soon. Writing halted
American Dad - Writing Halted, The show is currently on hiatus, but will return on March 12, 2008. airing encore episodes.

Family Guy: Fox says they will complete the last three episodes written, voiced and animated without MacFarlane's final approval to air during the remainder of November, which he termed "a colossal dick move" in an interview with Variety. :lol:

The Riches: 13 episodes have been ordered, unknown how many have been written.

Army Wives - Writing halted

Eureka (doesn't say what's going on. just that it's been effected :/ )

10 Items or Less: Appropriate title since 8 eps have been produced. *L*

The Bill Engvall show - 10 eps to be produced

Jeopardy and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire are staffed by WGA writers. ARGH!!!

This will also affect the start of 2008 revivals of Password (CBS) and American Gladiators (NBC), as they may move up the shows in order to compensate for fewer scripted shows. The CBS midseason Power of 10 may also pick up additional episodes, and The Price Is Right may tape extra primetime episodes

Professional wrestling has been unaffected by the strike. Both the WWE and TNA have been carrying on without writers. After the strike was announced that week's edition of RAW made a joke of it when Shawn Micheals asked "Who writes this crap?" and Triple H replied "I don't think anybody does; they're all on strike!" :lol:

Please note: Stargate Atlantis is not affected!! Yay!! :D

[ZariusTwo]

No.. they dont count because only American shows are affected by the strike. So any show on BBC America (like Doctor Who, Robin Hood, and Torchwood) wouldn't be affected.... :P

I meant you can count Torchwood as NOT counting because it hasnt finished production on it's season yet

Pay some f*cking attention...

FOX are going to burn their bridge with Mcfarlane, and theyll likely edit the s*it out of the scripts and not animated the uncensored material for the DVDs which they cut for television.

[Dr. Doom]

Is that really a wise choice on their part? Seems like he probably makes them a lot of money.

[BubblyShell22]

Well, maybe Seth has a point since after the eps air, no new ones will be aired. He probably just wants them to not air any more eps because of this strike. I don't know, this is just a theory.

[Drtooth]

According to Jim - Yea uh don't expect any eps soon. Writing halted

Well, at least some good came out of this. &^$%@*in' Jim Belushi.

American Dad - Writing Halted, The show is currently on hiatus, but will return on March 12, 2008. airing encore episodes.

Family Guy: Fox says they will complete the last three episodes written, voiced and animated without MacFarlane's final approval to air during the remainder of November, which he termed "a colossal dick move" in an interview with Variety. :lol:

Say good bye to Family Guy! If there's one thing that will get the show cancelled for good, it's p***ing off the creator. Either the show would get cancelled, or we have another John K type situation, were untalented d-bags take over the show for him. Dammit.



The Bill Engvall show - 10 eps to be produced

Too bad they can't just cancell it. Not like anyone's even heard of it. Just what we need. Another c-list comedian in a generic routine "family sitcom."


This will also affect the start of 2008 revivals of Password (CBS) and American Gladiators (NBC), as they may move up the shows in order to compensate for fewer scripted shows. The CBS midseason Power of 10 may also pick up additional episodes, and The Price Is Right may tape extra primetime episodes

[BubblyShell22]

Oh, crap, Hannah Montana's been affected? This totally sucks. I love that show. *gets ready for people to call her a dork*

At this rate, the only shows I'll be watching are South Park and pro wrestling. Oh, and the Lost Season of TMNT when it's aired. Well, I guess I'll just have to make do with it, right?

[Raph's Girl]

At this rate, the only shows I'll be watching are South Park and pro wrestling. Oh, and the Lost Season of TMNT when it's aired. Well, I guess I'll just have to make do with it, right?

Yea... about the only thing I have to watch is Legion of Superheroes, Batman, and Stargate Atlantis.

Just found out why Stargate Atlantis isn't effected by the strike. Seems THEIR writers are part of the WGC! There are some WGA members that are also part of the WGC but the head honchos at the WGC have told them if they wanna strike then go ahead.

So there ya go... if shows wanna continue they should just hire on writers from the WGC.

Well, at least that's a boon to animation fans who were losing the medium to said live action Disney and CN shows.


Rumor has it, there will be one more negotiation on the 26th, but it sounds doubtful.

Not a rumour. They're indeed going back to the tables on the 26th...but like meetings over the weekend with the stagehands...Im sure it'll fail. :ohwell:

Either way tho...I'll be tuning into BBC America and CBC alot more if I want to watch something on tv....hmm...I've been meaning to see Little Mosque on the Prairie....

Well, officially Heroes has two more eps left and then they're done for now. Like I've said before, I'll just have to stick with South Park and pro wrestling, but it does suck.

Pretty strange situation. Glad it's not affecting animation.

um so what's the deal with the strike? it's kind of died out in the news

[ZariusTwo]

Current reports from AICN are that the strike's ending and talks are moving towards a "reasonable inflation percentage"


...4%

Isn't that what they wanted? An extra $.04 or something like that? I saw it in a youtube video called "Why we fight".

EDIT: Found it.

This would be good news. I can't see this being true, and I'm warey that this would be true... but if this happens, and writers get back to work as soon as possible, our shows could come back as soon as next year. Febuary maybe.

But I bet they're going to break down again anyway.

4%. That actually isn't that much. They make the damn DVD's in Mexico for a nickel a go, they can afford to give them the possible 2 bucks per hundred copies.

After watching House last night, they did show a clip for a new ep that will air in the new year. So, either that ep was filmed before the strike (which is likely), or the shows are going to start filming soon. I heard that they are gonna negotiate today and talk about it. I hope they reach some agreement soon.
