24 Season 7 delayed indefinitely

Victim of the writer's strike

http://www.mania.com/56571.html

Basically, Fox knows the show does MUCH better when all the eps are run in row, so they wanna wait 'til the strike's over before starting it up.

IOW, we won't see it 'til the summer at the earliest

[SineSwiper]

Well, duh! You can add these shows to the list:

Heroes
Daily Show/Colbert Report
The Office
CSI
House
Desperate Housewives
Grey's Anatomy
Prison Break
Lost
Jericho

Oh, and every other fucking show in existance! Except reality shows. Expect these shows to dominate your TV, since they don't need writers. Warm up some popcorn, because this writers strike is going to be a totally awesome amount of suck and fail!

I hear most cable shows aren't affected, except for the likes of Daily Show and Colbert Report. The Daily Show's writers only recently joined the Writer's Guild in fact. It's really the large networks that are feeling the pinch.

[Blotus]

I'm fine with that.

I thought you had to be in the WG to even write for any movie or TV series.

[Zeus]

I'm fine with that.

Yeah, I'd rather see it all in a row too. I hated the 5-week layoff between episodes

Jericho actually isn't effected. they had a short run season as it was and all the eps were written. hopefull they will hold off on starting it back with new eps until everything else is in reruns because at that point it will be jericho against nothing new and reality television.

Heroes just reshot the ending to what was supposed to be a midseason cliffhanger to turn it into a season ender so it's not hurt as horribly. it's shows like Chuck, Journeyman, and Pushing Daisies that are still building an audience...those shows are pretty screwed and better hope their number keep climbing. so that they might get picked back up. although if the strike goes long enough it could be good as there would be no pilot season which would pretty much force networks to keep some shows around.

All I hope is that the monday NBC lineup manages to stay alive because I've really started to enjoy it. but it will be a damned interesting time t come in television and movies. a lot of movies are gonna get pushed back too.

Chuck better get picked back up. That's the only new show this season that I am watching! (Though I've been DVRing Pushing Daisies and Journeyman).

[Tessian]

Chuck better get picked back up. That's the only new show this season that I am watching! (Though I've been DVRing Pushing Daisies and Journeyman).

Chuck is pretty good. Is there a fucking end in sight to this strike... or is everyone in Hollywood being selfish pricks?

hopefully. I hope you aren't blaming the writers though. this is the first srike I've actually agreed with in a long time

[SineSwiper]

Yeah, the short version is that the Hollywood moguls are being total dicks and not allowing writers to take royalities for their work being pushed out on the Internet. The DVD cut is also fantastically small.

Found a "Strike Chart" with houw many episodes are left in most shows.

[Chris]

as I said....hopefull cbs holds back on the jericho season and starts in in a month and a half to 2 months from now. 7 episodes and it will be the only thing left showing new episodes. everything else will be repeats and reality television
