Writers strike (almost) over
The writers strike is unofficially over, a few weeks before the Oscars.
Seeing how there is tons of news covering the issue, I am going to keep this simple and concise:
- Writers should start getting back to work by Monday.
- Most shows would begin writing scripts and reworking the storylines.
- It would take 6 – 8 weeks to get up and running.
- For those continuing the season: Expect 4 – 6 episodes left, airing in April (late) – May.
- Other networks may scrap the season and begin production for next season (Aug – Sep).
The writers strike has also affected Movies, as most scripts were placed on hold. Expect production to resume; with releases (Da Vinci code 2) showing up sometime in the Winter.

Da Vinci Code 2?
I think you mean “Angels and Demons”.
Yeah I heard about that and hopefully they get everything up and running. Currently, many networks are focusing on reality TV since it doesn’t required an “intelligent” script.

Angelo:
Your right, Its officially called Angels and Demons. I refer to it as DVC-2 because its the same storyline and the is being marketed as a prequel/sequel.
