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

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.

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.

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....

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 ****.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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!"

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

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.

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

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.
