Television is Back in Action


Now that the three month writer’s strike is officially over, what does that mean for your favorite TV shows?

According to Network insiders many hit shows will be back this spring to finish off the season, including: CBS’s CSI and ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy and Desperate Housewives. However, shows that had to break down their sets such as NBC’s Heroes, which requires a lot to rev up for production, most likely will not be back until next fall.

In addition, shows that have not yet found a strong following such as ABC’s Dirty Sexy Money and NBC’s Chuck will probably not be return this spring either. Even next season will be affected by the strike, and Fox has announced that 24 will not be back on the air until January of 2009.

For those shows returning it will likely require at least six weeks for new episodes to air, and whether a show will return or not is on a case-by-case basis. Shows that were close to finishing a script before the writer’s strike began in November will have a head start in broadcasting new episodes.

Networks will continue to unleash new series such as ABC’s “Lipstick Jungle” and Fox has reported that they have at least four new shows to release this spring.
