Strike Chart: How Long Before Your Shows Go Dark?

There seems to be little doubt that the writers' strike will result in a shorter TV season, but just how short are we talking? Well, as you might've guessed, it varies from show to show. Those programs that are either highly efficient ( Friday Night Lights ) or have entered the season with a backlog of episodes ( Men in Trees, Law & Order: SVU ) will be in originals well into the new year. But series with tighter production schedules ( i.e., nearly every half-hour comedy ) will go dark almost immediately. Of course, figuring out how many episodes remain in your favorite shows' arsenals requires a lot of numbers crunching — and as I've come to learn, the only thing you Ausholes despise more than a Wednesday without AA is mathematics. With that in mind, I pulled together this incredibly handy ( and 85 percent complete ) cheat sheet. Keep in mind: The information below is subject to change, particularly if both sides get back to the bargaining table and resolve this frakkin' thing!

Writers Guild authorizes screenwriters' strike

Hollywood screenwriters have overwhelmingly voted to authorize a strike, which could happen anytime after Oct. 31, endangering the progress of scripted television shows that would produce new episodes for the February "sweeps" period and beyond. The Writers Guild of America West and the Writers Guild of America East, representing more than 12,000 writers, said late Friday that a strike was authorized by 90.3% of vote-casting members. Their contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers expires Oct. 31. The writers' unions are demanding that they be paid higher residual fees for films and television shows on DVD. They are also asking that pay schedules be set up for other digital outlets, such as the Internet and mobile phones. So far, the AMPTP has been unreceptive to those concerns, according to various published reports. In the case of new media, producers want to get a better sense of how programming for the Web and cell phones will be valued by the marketplace. Several scripted television shows would be unable to air new episodes in the second half of the TV season, depending on how long a potential strike lasts. As a result, reality shows -- which do not require union writers -- might become even more ubiquitous on U.S. television.

The last Writers Guild strike occurred in 1988.
