02/11: Strike All But Over; When Will House Return?
From MSNBC:
Michael Ausiello expects that House will shoot 4-6 episodes that will air in April and May while Maureen Ryan says that nothing has been decided.
The writers strike is essentially over, but as it comes to an end, television will not immediately change, nor has it significantly changed TV.
Because new episodes of scripted dramas can take more than a month to produce, the end of the strike doesn't mean that new episodes of series will suddenly appear. Most industry observers are predicting that only about four to six new episodes of suspended dramas such as "Grey's Anatomy," "CSI," and "Desperate Housewives" will air in May.
Half-hour sitcoms may return earlier, as they take far less time to write and shoot, especially those few that use the traditional three-camera format. Most late-night shows returned during the strike, which means the first series to make its post-strike debut may actually be "Saturday Night Live."
