TV Shows : Strike Mode On

This season, Australian TV tried to be different with the US TV shows. Instead of waiting 6 months after they air in the States, they 'fast-tracked' it to 1 week. That's good for us but at the year when they started implementing this, the writers went on strike.

If you haven't heard, the writers association in the US is on strike refusing to write anymore scripts for any TV shows. They want fairer compensation on DVD sales or something like that. Anyway, it's been going on for weeks now and some TV shows are on halt, forcing them to end the season halfway or 10 episodes early.

Anyway, the strike is not going to stop soon and obviously you want to know what happens to your favourite TV show, what happens to the cheerleader, bionic woman, Jack Bauer and so on. Well, this guy in the US has compiled a fairly comprehensive list of what is happening to the shows. Check it out here. It will let you know what's happening with this season and how it impacts the shows. There are some shows that has no more episodes left (like Heroes), or some shows won't be aired at all (24). Some has a few episodes left up their sleeves but will finish up very soon as well.

Well, we all hope that this strike will be over soon because watching shows like this is definitely not funny at all. The link again, here.
