How many news shows will be made?

A quick end to the walkout might result in TV viewers seeing a more new episodes of their favourite shows this season. A script takes about three weeks to write and about 40 working days to produce, so it could take as long as two months for the first new shows to air.

But once a production has scripts and is up and running, episodes are worked on concurrently and an hour-long show can be produced within eight days.

That could allow an hour long drama to return with perhaps a half-dozen new episodes, and a half-hour comedy to squeeze in as many as seven new shows for the rest of the season.

Networks, however, are likely to pick and choose among shows, with low-rated newcomers less likely to get deals for more episodes than a series like "Grey's Anatomy," which has a big, faithful audience.

The Strike is Over

1. The good news:
   The strike is done
2. The skinny:
   WGA officials will meet Sunday to officially endorse the agreement, and then, pending approval from the majority of the guild, the strike that began Nov. 5 and took down the Golden Globes—and perhaps a little bit of Hollywood's soul—will be formally, and finally, over.
3. The bad news:
   It was unclear how much of this TV season will or can be salvaged, but there's hope that the networks can get a hefty portion of their prime-time lineups back on track for spring. Most scripted series normally don't wrap production until around March, so some time presumably would remain to get cranking and resume shooting. Most shows will however have shorter run than normal.

i'm 50/50 on this.....
