Due to the writers strike, I’ve been keeping a running tab at how many television episodes remain and it’s beginning to look pretty grim. Here’s a rundown of the casualties and where a few favorite television shows stand:
Season Canceled
24 was set to premier in January 2008. Fox wanted to air all 24 episodes without interruption, and since they haven’t all been filmed, there’ll be no 24 this winter.
Zero Episodes Remain
Heroes, Desperate Housewives, Big Bang Theory, Bionic Woman, The Family Guy, The Office, Reaper, Rules of Engagement, Two and a Half Men
1 Episode Remains
Chuck, Criminal Minds, Girlfriends, Life, Pushing Daisies, Shark
2 Episodes Remain
Back to You, Dirty Sexy Money, Grey’s Anatomy, K-Ville, Law and Order: Criminal Intent, Moonlight, My Name is Earl, Private Practice
3 Episodes Remain
Bones, Brothers and Sisters, CSI, Dirt, House, Journeyman, Numbers

The winner of the writer’s strike? Indie Internet video publishers, like Revision3.
my heart just broke a little.
Thanks to the writer strike I will not have to further expand the hard drives in my high def tivoes at the stiff prices those >500GB ones go for.
Thanks very much for this.
I’ll just watch more movies, that should hold me off for another year.
Been stockpiling: Chuck, Journeyman (even though it ends here), CSI:, LOCI; Life, Dexter, Torchwood, Flash Gordon, Pushing Daisies and I have to finish ST:TOS (Season 2-3) & I’ve just reactivated Netflix. Now that my football package is ending, there’s more time to fill… perhaps the gym?
