Post Strike Schedules

The Writer's Strike has been resolved (mostly) so all of your favorite TV shows can come back now… right? Well, not exactly. Because of the interruption some shows can't get the ball rolling again until this Fall or later. Others had shows already "in the can" that they can air while the production plays catch up.

Here's what's going on:

New episodes on the way in this Spring:
The Office, Ugly Betty, and Without a Trace

A few episodes in the can, with more coming this Spring:
30 Rock, all three CSI shows, and Smallville,

A few episodes in the can, but future uncertain:
Back to You, Bones, Jericho, Lost, NCIS, Prison Break, Scrubs, and Terminator

Cancelled:
Bionic Woman

This season is probably over (looking at Fall '08 or early '09):
24, Chuck, Friday Night Lights, Heroes, ER, Law & Order:SVU, and Pushing Daisies

Sitcoms can supposedly produce new episodes in as little as five weeks (good news for you Office fans). Dramas could take two months (mid-April) to produce a new episode. Shows with sophisticated special effects were mostly pushed off until next season or later.

More shows and details listed here.

I can't WAIT for the Office to come back. Although I must say, I have gotten a chance to catch up on ones I missed before on TBS Tuesday nights!
