Completed Shows before Strike

[Geekyfanboy]

I got this from LA Times.. it doesn't have all the shows but does mention some of our favorites.

Here's a look at where many shows stand:

Soaps:
      
ABC  Says its soaps are written "well into the new year," however, and that they will "continue to produce     
original programming with no repeats and without interruption."
CBS      Expected to continue through February.
NBC    ("Days of Our Lives")      Expected to continue through January.

Syndicated Shows:
      
"Ellen"   Decided not to tape her show Monday in support of the striking writers. Some writers on her show are guild members. Monday's and Tuesday's shows were taped last week, a spokesman said. DeGeneres has yet to decide whether to go ahead with further shows this week.

Late Night:
      
"Colbert Report,"
"The Daily Show" and "Saturday Night Live"      Will go into repeats immediately.
"The Tonight Show" and "The Conan O'Brien Show"      Will go into repeats immediately.
"Jimmy Kimmel Live" Staffed with WGA writers, so it would probably go to repeats. But Kimmel could also decide to wing it and do the show himself.
"Nightline"     Will remain live and in originals.

ABC:
      
"Desperate Housewives"    Has nine episodes written, which should last through the first week of December.
"Grey's Anatomy"  13 episodes of 23 episodes written, 11 of which have been shot and six have aired. This means there are five more episodes in the can.
"Boston Legal"   Will have 14 or 15 of 22 episodes completed.
"Lost"    Expected to have eight out of 16 episodes ready. Midseason, none have aired yet
"Cavemen" Expected to have 12 out of 13 episodes completed; has not received an order for a full season.
"Men in Trees" Has five episodes left over from last season, 10 new episodes shot, four more scripts to shoot; adds up to 19 out of 27 for the season.
"Cashmere Mafia" The premiere has been delayed because of the strike.
"The View" Will continue uninterrupted, according to a spokesman.
"Dirty Sexy Money" Expected have between 11 and 13 episodes completed.
"Brothers & Sisters" Expected to have either 11 or 12 episodes completed.
"Eli Stone" Will have 13 of 13 ordered. Midseason premiere date is undetermined.

"CSI: Miami"      Will have 13 out of 24 episodes completed.
"Criminal Minds"      Will have 12 of 22 episodes completed.
"Moonlight" Expected to have 11 out of 12 episodes completed; has not received an order for a full season.
"Cane"    Expected to complete all 13 episodes; has not yet received an order for a full season.

"My Name is Earl" Has 13 out of 13 episodes completed.
"Medium" Will have nine of 22 episodes completed.

"Friday Night Lights"     Expected to complete 15 of 22 episodes.
"Scrubs" Expected to complete 12 of 18 episodes.
"Journeyman" Expected to complete 13 of 13 episodes; has not yet received an order for a full season.

"Everybody Hates Chris" Expected to complete 22 of 22 episodes.
"Gossip Girl"     Expected to complete 13 of 22 episodes.

Those shows also have roughly five scripts that are ready to shoot.
"America's Next Top Model," "Beauty and the Geek" and new shows such as "Crowned" (the mother-daughter beauty contest)

Three of a number of reality shows that have already been ordered up, meaning they are covered for the rest of the season

Fox:
      
"24"      Will have eight or nine out of 24 episodes completed. Midseason, none have aired yet.
"K-Ville" Will have 10 of 13 episodes completed.

USA:
      
"In Plain Sight" New show, episodes are nearly wrapped
"Psych" and "Monk" Enough scripts in hand to guarantee a full second half of each season
"Law and Order: Criminal Intent" Enough for first half of the season (10); the second half (12) will be affected (meaning not enough scripts to guarantee production start as scheduled.)
"Burn Notice"   Scheduled to start production of Season 2 in January
"Starter Wife"   Scheduled to start production in March

Sci-Fi:
      
"Stargate Atlantis"     Expected to go on as scheduled.

"Nip/Tuck" 5th season, the 22 episodes were planned for two cycles: 14 to run from now to February and eight next year. All 14 in the first cycle have been written. So, only the second cycle could be affected.

A new Tracey Ullman series      Five-episode series is shot.

One thing I see happening if this strike continues is that some of these new shows aren't going to get a full 1st season.  Which is going to hurt them badly.  That's a shame too because I think this year had some of the best new stuff on in a long time.

CRUD...I was hoping Caveman would sink because of the strike. I fear that because the other shows will be effected, Caveman will fill their time slots.  :D 

I didn't see Pushing Daisies on your list Kenny.

[Geekyfanboy]

Nope.. no Pushing Daisies or Heroes on that list...

[Rico]

The last word I heard on "Heroes" was it only had shows/scripts to get them until December or so.

For a show like Scrubs that is in its final season, I wonder what will happen. It would be sad to see it not end the way they had planned, and just end :(

Come around Jan. - Feb. of 2008 this is really going to be bad.  At least I can catch up on some movies I haven't watched yet.  ;)

[jedijeff]

I was reading that Damon Lindeloff said all 8 episodes of Lost will begin to Air in February, so at least there will be something for a couple months in 2008.

Not sure if I will watch the 8 shows.  I was not happy with the announcement to stretch it out to 20010.
