Question:
TV shows on?
2008-02-11 15:49:30 UTC
During the CBS Evening News today (February 11th at 5:00 cst), they said something about the writers who were on strike going back to work this week. Here's what they said:

The strikers could go back to work as early as Wednesday
~Two and a Half Men and The Office will be on in approximately 2 weeks
~CSI, Gray's Anatomy, and House on in mid April or May
~Heroes and 24 will be on in fall
~they also said Cane (and I think Desparate Housewives) will be cancelled

Is this correct? Does anyone know dates or approximate dates of other shows?

THANKS!

I would check TVGuide.com- they usually have the most up to date news and they had Tons of news about the strike and how many episodes certain shows had left to air- you can do a search on any current show



in fact TVGuide.com had This news





With an end to the three-month-old WGA strike imminent (yay!), the networks have quietly begun outlining plans to salvage what's left of the current TV season. At the same time, I've been quietly picking at my moles to get a preview of those plans — the results of which appear in chart form below.



Keep in mind that the following information remains extremely tentative and is subject to change (and probably will). In other words, I strongly suggest you refresh your browser at least once an hour to ensure that you're getting the most up-to-date scoop possible.
