Shows affected by the strike
 

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

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

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:

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

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

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.

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

Glad I don't watch TV

Damn it! I've really begun to like that show.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

From Comics Continuum:

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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

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

Well, good news none-the-less.

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. :) :)

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....

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.

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

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

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

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