The 07-08 season is pretty much a washout already...Some people say the networks wanted a strike so they could Ctrl-Alt-Del the season.
And the week of December 10th, NBC is going to run not one, not two, but SEVEN HOURS of Deal or No Deal in 4 nights....so this shows where the nets are going (24 won't air in January for example-they're holding it so they can show all 24 eps uninterrupted, as they onlt have 8 done)
The 1988 strike lasted 22 weeks, and since it ended up costing the writers a lot of money on videos and DVD's, they won't settle for a pittance on downloads and stuff-so I suspect it'll probably go longer (also remember, the actors and director's contracts are up next year too..so how this one turns out probably sets the tone for those two negotiations..)
that's why a lot of the actors are out helping them. it gives them a bigger barganing chip come next year. A lot of this years shows are going to be scrapped, but a few will survive. I got a few from an article on Variety, like Pushing Daisies, Bionic Woman, and Chuck. Others, like Caveman, CArpoolers, and Big Shots won't be so lucky. CW's probably keeping everything they have (even if Reaper & Gossip girl aren't drawing the best, Ostroff is behind both shows)
24 not showing up means we get the Sarah Conner Cronicles
