Hooray! The strike’s over! Now what?
Kristin over at E! Online is earning her paycheck, tracking down various showrunners to get the scoop on when we can expect shows to return. The Ausiello Report also contains a long list of shows and their current status. The good news: Battlestar Galactica is expected to have a complete final season, though some of it may air in the fall. The bad news: Friday Night Lights may have shut down production for good. Watch this space for news of various Save Our Shows campaign for that one. (Seriously, I just lost Veronica Mars, and now they want to take FNL away, too? Don’t go breaking my heart, NBC.)
Of course, the ink hasn’t even dried on the voting ballots and people are already debating who won and whether it was worth the cost. The Hollywood Reporter estimates that the strike came with a $2 billion price tag, and Variety considers how production conditions have changed due to the strike. (Short version: they might have changed. Maybe. No one really knows.)
And, if you want painfully detailed, up-to-the-minute updates on Tuesday’s vote, keep your eye on Deadline Hollywood.
And now, go crack open a beer and put your feet up, knowing that you suffered — SUFFERED, I say — through months of bad reality TV and reruns, all for the greater good.
