Now that the strike is over....
Here's the answer: http://www.mercurynews.com/columns/ci_8224988 ABC "Big Shots": Fired its last bullets. "Boston Legal": Has two new episodes left and will produce four to seven more to air before the end of May. "Brothers & Sisters": Returns late April with four or five new hours. "Cavemen": Dead in the water. "Desperate Housewives": Back in April with four to six episodes. "Dirty Sexy Money": Will be rebooted in the fall. "Eli Stone": Eleven new episodes left. "Grey's Anatomy": Four or five new episodes in April and May. "Lost": Has six episodes left but the last eight episodes of this season will almost certainly not air until the fall. "Men In Trees": Will return Feb. 27 with 11 new episodes but it's long-term future isn't bright. "Private Practice": Might film some new episodes but, most likely, won't be back until the fall. "Pushing Daisies": Will return in September. "Samantha Who?": Will Advertisement be back but whether it will return in the late spring or wait until the fall is still up in the air. "Ugly Betty": Four or five new episodes in April and May. "Women's Murder Club": Status to be determined. CBS "Cane": Has aired its last episode. "Cold Case": Four to six new episodes by season's end. "Criminal Minds": Four to seven new episodes in late April and May. "CSI": Four to seven new episodes by late May. "CSI: Miami": Ditto. "CSI: N.Y.": Ditto. "Ghost Whisperer": Will return with new episodes but the number is yet to be determined. "How I Met Your Mother": Returns in March with five to seven episodes. "Jericho": Returns Tuesday with seven new episodes. If it clicks with viewers, it may be back. "Moonlight": Won't return this season but may be back in September. "NCIS": Will probably air only three or four new episodes in May. "Rules of Engagement": To be announced. "Shark": Status still being determined. "The Big Bang Theory": Back in March.

"Two And A Half Men": Returns in March with five to seven episodes. "Without A Trace": Back in April with four to seven new episodes. CW "Everybody Loves Chris": Can finish out the season but its future - and the futures of most of the CW's comedies - are still being determined. "Gossip Girl": Will film as many as eight new episodes to air in the spring. "Life Is Wild": Dead. "One Tree Hill": Six episodes in the can but after that is anybody's guess. "Reaper": Three episodes have yet to air but after that, the show's future is very much up in the air. "Smallville": Still has four episodes in the can and plans to make four or five more. "Supernatural": Two new episodes already available and will film three or four more. Fox "24": Best bet is that it won't return until January, 2009.

"House": Four to six new episodes starting in mid-April. "Prison Break": On the endangered series list and probably won't return. "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles": Fate to be determined. "Til Death": Back with new episodes in March. NBC "30 Rock": Returning in March with as many as 10 new episodes. "Bionic Woman": Gone. "Chuck": Won't be back until September. "ER": Status is a bit iffy but it could be back this season with at least some episodes. "Friday Night Lights": Appears to be a goner - at least on NBC. "Heroes": No saving the world until the fall. "Journeyman": Gone. "Las Vegas": Has probably rolled the dice for the last time. "Law & Order": Has a number of episodes left and may not produce any more this season. "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit": Number of new episodes before May still being determined. "Life": To be determined but if it returns, it won't be until the fall. "My Name Is Earl": Six to eight new episodes in April and May. "Medium": Six new episodes left but probably won't do any more this season.

Cable series "Army Wives" (Lifetime): Has a number of episodes in the can and will probably return in late April or May.

"Big Love" (HBO): May be held until early next year. "Burn Notice" (USA): Still to be determined. "Damages" (FX): The series hadn't begun writing season 2 when the strike started.

| Re House, they have still been airing new episodes, although I haven't checked if it's a new one for tonight.... |
Grey's Anantomy  |
Thank goodness it's over!  Thanks for the update, Joah.  |
| In a way I kind of like how Lost has to be split with the 8 episodes that have now and then more in the fall. |
| Thanks for posting this. I heard it on the radio this morning but wanted to look at it again. |
 I can't wait to get my Monday nights back - Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, How I met your Mother. I hope Rules of Engagement survives too - I'm not a fan of David Spafe but the other two couples on the show are funny. |
| Mr. J lives for Two and a Half Men. |
| yey for greys!!

| Hey Darcy! You should watch Suicide Kings. That would be a great Dennis Leary movie. |
| REGARDING LOST: from Lindelof himself
foxnews.com: Quote: Damon Lindelof is eager for some answers. An executive producer of ABC's mystery serial "Lost," he should learn this week what his show's future holds as it closes out its fourth season. "Lost" has been back on the air just two weeks. But the strike meant a planned 16-episode shooting schedule was halted after just eight episodes were shot. Fans braced themselves for no more this season. "But we very much want to come back and do as many episodes as possible," said Lindelof, who then listed a few issues that first need to be settled. "How many episodes can best serve our story? And what are the production realities?" He noted that the shooting facility in Hawaii, 2,500 miles from his Los Angeles office, had been shuttered since Thanksgiving. The crew has dispersed, the huge cast has scattered. The first new post-strike episode of "Lost" could possibly be ready for broadcast the week after episode eight appears, he said. There likely would be three or four more after that. Could there be even more? "I'd be surprised if the network wanted to air episodes deep into the summer," he said. But if all the pieces fell into place, "Lost" fans would be blessed: "I don't see why we couldn't deliver all eight remaining episodes." That kind of zeal should warm viewers' hearts. Lindelof and the rest of TV's creative community seem delighted to be back. Almost as delighted as we are. |
| Oh I hope they don't cancel Jericho and Life - I like those shows. |

I don't understand, though, why he's saying they'll have to see how adding episodes would work with the story. I mean, weren't there supposed to be 16 episodes this season? It's weird how he's making it sound like some big deal to add episodes that were supposed to be there anyways. |
| He probably means that if they can't do all of the next 8....then they would adjust the story, or the flow of the story, to end it well instead of just....bam....stop. That way they can resolve some storylines and make a good cliffhanger |
| ^^
that's how i read it. |
grrrr. I just think they should do all 8 remaining ones!  |
I think YEAR ROUND. I luv that show  |
