What effect will the screenwriters' strike have on shows?
Desperate Housewives
> The schedule for UK viewers has been delayed, reportedly until March.
> Filming of season 4 has been stopped at the 10th episode (of 23). Remains to be seen!
Prison Break
> Season 3 is back on Sky One on January 28th.
> However, only 13 episodes of 22 have been filmed. This could cause major problems, and not just in the US.
Grey's Anatomy
> The filming of season 4 has been affected, with only 11 episodes filmed.
24
> Season six is set to air on Sky One in the Uk, but only 8 out of 24 episodes have been completed - ouch. How will we cope with the suspense?
Nip/Tuck
> Filming of Season 5 has been halted at episode 14 out of 22.
Shows unaffected by the strikes: Dexter, Ugly Betty, Scrubs and The Shield.
