Writers Strike Over!!!!

Yes, the Writers Strike is officially over. If you don't know what I'm talking about and youj've been living under a rock since November 5th 2007, then that's your problem. I'll give everyone a short rundown of the biggest shows that are being affected by this:

Lost: Season 4 is going to be finished, but with 13 episodes this season, rather than the originally planned 16. The producers plan to "hit the ground running" but just won't have the time to make all the originally planned episodes, so they're going to be condensing some stories in order to make everything they want fit.

Heroes: Looks like Heroes fans won't be getting any new episodes until fall. They just don't have the time to keep this last season going, and rather than completing only 3 more episodes, they're just going to wait until the end of this season and begin filming again in April in preparation for the fall season. But what this means is that fans will have very few reruns to look forward to next season.

24: Yeah, bad news for you guys. Though 8 episodes of season 7 have been completed, all you fans of 24 are gonna have to wait until January 2009 for your new episodes. If this displeases you, take your anger out on FOX. 24 was originally renewed through season 8 before the strike had started (meaning that they had planned to finish 8 seasons) but now that they're going to miss an entire TV season, no one's really sure if that's still in effect, especially after their ratings drop during season 6.

Smallville: Not much to say here - except for Get Ready For Some New Episodes! CW wants to begin production again ASAP.

Supernatural: See above.

The Office: Production should begin again soon, and fans may get a nearly-full season. If you want an explanation on "Nearly-full," take the number of episodes there have been this season, and add 10 (give or take).

Battlestar Galactica: If you watch this show, you probably vaguely resemble Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons, and therefore are ENTIRELY caught up in the happenings of this show.

CSI: Good news here, CBS plans to make at least 6 or 7 new episodes to round out this season. Production will begin ASAP, which is alwaya a good thing.

NCIS, Without A Trace, Numbers, Criminal Minds, Ghost Whisperer, Cold Case: See CSI.
