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

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

Here's what Gough and Millar said:
Quote:
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.

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

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

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....

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:

Quote:
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.

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.

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.
