Best strikebreaking opportunity ever.
If you think the waiters are rude, you should see the manager.

Not good. Time to pick a new series to get caught up on. I'm thinking I'll start with The Shield.

I think it does; I heard that this season might end at the 11th episode.

I assume this will affect Scrubs. So much for having a good final season.

Hey, maybe they'll just fill up the timetables with repeats of decent programmes. There's 11 years of MASH to be shown. :P
nope.

If by Grey's you mean Grey's Anatomy then baahahahaa! That is such a chick show.

Edit: Oh good. The Wire will still go on.

Meh, House was going down the drain anyway, and if it'll get Gossip Girl out of my common room, I'm all for it.

House wasn't listed, so I'm assuming it'll be fine. Same for The Office. At least I'll still have those two to watch.

This season of House has been a lot better so far than Season 3.

I've been watching nothing but fox news and anime on adultswim for like 7 years straight now so this strike doesn't affect me in the least.

The Office has 3-4 more episodes, and one written script that is written but not produced. However, Steve Carell is a WGA member, so it is very unlikely that they will film another episode without him.

wikipedia:

In July of 2008, the contracts of two additional entertainment industry labor unions – the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and Directors Guild of America (DGA) – are set to expire. If all three unions cannot reach an agreement with the AMPTP, they are expected to support each other in a collective negotiation that would effectively bring the Hollywood film industry to a standstill


wow, that stands to suck. at least shows from the UK and other non US places will have no problems.

Unions are terrible. Seriously.

In other news, Weeds just picked up a fourth season. :)

a large number of the late night talk show hosts are stopping their show in support of the writers, and some regular tv show directors are also in support of the writers.
