There are also upcoming shows, like Battlestar Galactica and 24, that could get screwed up due to this, so I hope things get resolved soon. But still, you have to side with the writers, who deserve more from DVD sales and also some reimbursement for new media revenue. Studios are greedy, and will take as much as they can.

Fight the power, writers!

Being in the UK it seems we won't see the effects until much later considering we are a year or so behind for having these shows aired. I'm assuming the shows I watch (listed here) are a season ahead what is currently airing at the moment.

Ugly Betty S2 has just started airing here, Desperate Housewives S4 is yet to air and I dont think we'll be getting it until after the new year. Men in Trees in currently only half way through it's first season run, Boston Legal S4 must be due to start either before or just after New Years also. Heroes S1 just finished a few months back so we won't be getting S2 until next year sometime.

UK TV thrives on repeats also, so I wouldn't be surprised if they start running previous seasons again until things are resolved.

I do hope it gets resolved soon, but I don't have nearly enough time to catch up on all my TiVo records for me. If the well runs dry for awhile, we'll still have plenty to watch at hour house.

I don't think it is a matter of feeling bad for the writers. It is more that the entire industry is changing rapidly. Soon, we may be watching TV as it gets downloaded to our computer via our Tivo. The writers, like everyone else, wants to make sure they get their fair share of the revenue. For too many years writers and actors were screwed out of money before the unions protected them. I live in Los Angeles, and it is hard on a lot of people when production shuts down. But I miss my shows, too!
