Writers' Strike 99.9% Over Now!
I'm sure many of you have read that the writers' strike is basically over now. It won't be official until probably tomorrow, but it is very likely that the WGA members will vote for this new deal and thus the strike will end. Many writers are expected to be back to work this coming week. The WGA released: The Writers Guild of America will hold a press conference today, Sunday, Feb. 10, 12 Noon, at WGAW headquarters to update the media on important developments related to contract negotiations between the WGA and the AMPTP companies.
We will have much more details on that conference and more this coming week on what we hear and what shows will return. Expect all the big hits (Grey's Anatomy, CSI, Desperate Housewives) obviously to return this season with like 4-7 episodes each. Some new shows could return (Back to You, Samantha Who, Big Bang Theory), but most of them will not until the fall. Some new shows could be gone for good anyway (Bionic Woman, Big Shots).
TV Guide has a rundown on most shows' fate for this season and beyond. View that HERE.
So hope you all join us this week as we get much more news and the official statement! It will be a pleasure not saying what the day of the strike it is. I got used to doing it, but will be happy not do it anymore! Welcome back to our favorite shows!
