Writer's Strike is over

[BreakABone]

After a bit more than 4 months, the writer's strike is finally over. Writers can go back to work as soon as tomorrow. :D

Thank God. It was getting ridiculous. Battlestar Galactica here we come!

[Jason1]

So glad the office is coming back.

[Dylflon]

I'm glad that my family can go back to work and we won't lose our house.

The Wire has still been on, so I haven't cared that much. Law and Order was still on for the most part too, so that was okay.

[GameMaster]

No 24 for eleven months?! Gah!

Welp. Have fun wrapping up Lost with 5 more episodes, guys.

It's a shame House is done and 24 won't even appear for another year. Ugh.

The thing that bothers me about Lost is that they're going to make this season run for 13 episodes, when it was planned as 16 - and they said that they'll still finish the planned story. So that's the remaining 8 episodes compressed into 5..

Sad, I actually kind of liked the Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Does anyone else think that the majority of networks lost out on an opportunity with the writer's strike? Great cable shows like Battlestar Galactica could have had reruns show on NBC as if it were for the first time, exposing those shows to a whole new audience.

Instead they just ran reruns and reality shows, with a few exceptions. Huge mistake, IMO.

I completely agree. It's really disappointing.

I think some networks were planning on doing that, but this writer's strike was just weird.

And it could have also hurt those shows because what if the writer's strike had lasted a month or so. No one knew and it would make it look bad if a show was on for like 2 weeks then suddenly dropped. And also sometimes cable shows are made with a bit more mature audience. Like Dexter was supposed to be shown on CBS but would be editted for a TV audience which would make the show lose some of its charm.

Dexter was on CBS last night. For those who haven't seen it, rent it or download it. Top-notch show.
