well you can catch up on old shows. Plus there is movies. Oh yeah. This is effects the movie business to. If the strike happens. No movie or limited number will be shown in 2009. 2008 movies got around 30-40 so there is plenty to go around

2) No new scripted shows until this issue is resolved. The only thing that we could look forward to is shows like 24 and Lost which I heard is still not even close to finish.

Production may be delayed due to a writer's strike. The WGA is fighting for content residuals on DVD's and new media(ie streaming content, webisodes). The studios haven't been budging and the WGA recently voted with over 90% of members in favour of a strike. A strike would affect 24 harder than other shows because production started on September 10th, leaving no time to bank scripts before its scheduled premiere on January 13th, 2007. Maureen Ryan recently spoke to FOX and 24 executive producer David Fury, about the likelihood of 24 being delayed if a strike occurs. FOX is playing it safe, simply saying that, "We're hoping that all parties can come to an agreement and a strike can be averted. However, in the event one does occur, we're prepared."
