      So it seems with the writer’s strike in full swing it is time to be realistic about the effect this is going to have on our season of television shows.

      Some shows have already been shut down due to the way they are produced, others will continue for another week or two, while others have their seasons shortened.

      So far, shows like Two and Half Men, Big Bang Theory, Till Death, Back to You and The Office have shut down because their writing team only keep a few episodes ahead of the shooting schedule.

      Scrubs, 30 Rock, Desperate Housewives will be shut down soon. From the Desperate Housewives camp it seems that there were only nine episodes written before the strike, and the actors of the show have been seen joining the picket lines, with Eva Longoria handing out pizzas on the picket lines. “We are done, and we’ll be on the lines supporting you,” she told the striking writers.

      How long until pretty much all shows have their production shut down and we are stuck with repeats, reality television, and international television during our prime time viewing hours? Don’t they know how important Smallville is to me?
