TV writers strike continues

The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers say that “67 percent — 64 of 96 — television series this season are scripted, down from 81 percent just two seasons ago.”

All late night shows are in repeats now, except for Nightline which will remain live and original.

Soaps can make it into 2008. How far into the new year depends on the show. NBC says they have enough to get through January. CBS says they have enough to get through February. ABC says their soaps are written “well into the new year,” and that they will “continue to produce original programming with no repeats and without interruption.”

Production has already shut down Desperate Housewives, Greys Anatomy, New Adventures of Old Christine, Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, Rules of Engagement, How I Met Your Mother, The Office, Heroes, Back To You, Til Death and KVille.

I hope they can come to an agreement soon or there will be little tv to watch that I want to watch.
