Cancelled: Writers’ contracts and new television shows!

January 15th, 2008 in TV, Writers

lostThe two month old writers’ strike has cause several major studios to strike back.  Over 65 contracts for new, current or developing shows have been cancelled.  This move by the studios has caused some Hollywood reporters to speculate that there may not be much of a new television series next fall.  Twentieth Century-Fox Televison, Viacom - which owns CBS and Paramount, NBC Universal and Warner Brothers Television have cancelled contracts for development and production.  As the Fall season is usually determined in January the impact will be more keenly felt nine or ten months from now.  As for the fate of some television shows that have cliff hanger endings?  Sad to say but any hope for a happy ending soon may well be, er, lost.
