Strike Out: The Future of Your Favorite Shows
If the writers approve the terms of the deal and vote to end the strike this week, below is a glance at how the rest of the 2008 television season looks, by show (series that I watch or have been asked about; all speculative at this point).
I could have simply posted links to this information from several online sources, but what fun would that be? Besides, I don't think anyone reading this really cares about the future of Aliens in America.
Let's start with my favorite, and then return to alphabetical:
Lost: Six pre-strike episodes remain; potential for SIX more this year!
24: Returning 01/09
30 Rock: New episodes as early as April or May
Big Shots: Canceled
Bionic Woman: Canceled

So...which show are you anticipating the return of the most?
That is a great recap!
I am most bummed about no new "Chuck" or "Pushing Daisies". You'll be shocked to know that I am most excited about, you guessed it, more "Lost"!!
