The two month old writers’ strike has cause several major studios to strike back. Â Over 65 contracts for new, current or developing shows have been cancelled. Â 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. Â Twentieth Century-Fox Televison, Viacom – which owns CBS and Paramount, NBC Universal and Warner Brothers Television have cancelled contracts for development and production. Â As the Fall season is usually determined in January the impact will be more keenly felt nine or ten months from now. Â As for the fate of some television shows that have cliff hanger endings? Â Sad to say but any hope for a happy ending soon may well be, er, lost.
