Writer's Strike - Which shows will you miss most?

Wed Nov 07, 2007 3:08 am

With the writer's strike underway right now, a ton of shows have been shut down. 24 is now 0 since they don't even have 12 hours in the can. Galactica is gone. Lost is MIA. Most shows won't get a full season.

The shows I will miss the most:
Scrubs - Last season. I really want to know what happens with everyone
and
Battlestar Galactica - It is THE show. This would have been the last season of this too. Sure, we have Razor, but the show was where all of the top drama was going to be at this season.

What is everyone else going to miss?

Actually ...I'm pretty sure I'm not going to miss any shows. Mainly because I don't watch that many anymore, and not that many are going to get shut down due to winter. :roll:

*lucky*

Ehh...Pushing Daisies, I guess, since it was only just recently picked up for a full season, which isn't going to happen now.

I'm also going to miss those nights when there was stuff OTHER than brainless game shows and reality series on. *despises Big Brother and the like*

I heard 'Heroes' isn't going to finish as soon as it is suppose to.

But the shows I mostly watch ('House' and sometimes 'Desperate Housewives') aren't on strike. At least I hope they're not.

I'm going to miss The Office the most (There's only two episodes left :/). Also, I'm going to miss Heroes and 30 Rock a lot. I can probably live without Ugly Betty for now.

Zilary: I don't know about House, but DH is affected.

Basically every show that's scripted is affected. :/ I think?

I'm good with The Amazing Race and Project Runway once it starts since they're reality.

But for 30 Rock...I'll miss it a lot after about 5 weeks :|

I'm gonna miss Heroes the most. And Chuck I'm gonna miss too, if it's affected.

The Amazing Race is the only reality show I watch, which is good since it's not affected.

Is there anyone hasn't seen both of these shows??? o_O

Me.

And I only watch Lost out of some bizzare English desire to see something through to the end no matter how painfully convoluted it is.(Like Torchwood. Lord, that was awful).
And even then, my Patience for Lost has basically run dry.

Me. I've never seen either of them :P

Well, I'm going to miss Supernatural, Ugly Betty, Heroes and ER. Even though I think I could live without ER for a while. As for my other shows, they are all reality so it's not affected.

Is there any way of finding out which shows are affected? I'm interested in Heroes, Lost, Desperate Housewives and Scrubs, but I don't want to miss any of them!
