I wonder if any shows will stay on, by virtue of having episodes in the can, that would have been cancelled.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
It looks like The Office may close down production, which will be the first big drama to fall. If that happens, they've got, like, 3 episodes in the can. That'll be a good viewer test, methinks.
James Gunn puts it politely: [link]
So for their stinginess, their greed, and their overall bullshit, the studios can go fuck themselves. And not in a nice way either.
The soap operas will hit harder. When they go next week or so, that'll piss some people off.
Is that the turnaround for these things? Like, what do they do, write the script while on set and shoot it immediately?

The Office is a comedy. Ostensibly.
I heard the soaps generally have about 30 days backlogged.
Some posters on TWOP were quoting articles claiming soap operas will be good till January or so, altho some of the later episodes in that might run into issues because no one will be around to do on-the-fly last-minute rewrites, which are common.
Of course, considering how some of the soap operas are doing lately, I wonder if anyone will really notice? Sorry. Just a little perturbed about Sami getting ready to marry her rapist on DAYS.
This post is totally on topic, too, right, since I'm talking soaps?

That's my bad. I use drama to signify anything which isn't reality TV nowadays.
the reporting of the strike is gonna be a little bias you may suggest.
Do you normally find that, say, TV Guide covers Fox too favorably or EW gives tongue baths to WB?
Entertainment Weekly is totally a tool of the LaRouche agenda.
I only look at EW for the pictures. It's like my reverse Playboy.
