Hi Everyone, Does anyone know when the writer's strike is going to be over? I miss all the shows I watched. Especially Grey's Anatomy, Priviate Practice, and Desperate Housewives. I have been watching all the new shows, just so they are not re-runs. Actually, they have been running the re-runs so long, that I'm going to need a refresher anyway! So I'm wondering... Why does everyone like Gray's Anatomy? Who is your favorite character on the show? Do you want McDreamy and Gray to stay together or get on with it? Have a great day, looking forward to this discussion. B

I'm hearing there will be 4 to 7 new episodes depending on how complex the episode. I think with this large cast we are probably going to just get 4 episodes. Any new episodes will make me happy; however, its going to take time to get them ready.

As of Wednesday the writer's strike is over! Finally! The Oscars will go ahead (I love watching the awards show for tv, movies, and music, it's so entertaining). The late-night talk shows should be back as early as tonight. Grey's anatomy is expected to return in April with 4 or 5 new episodes. Private Practice won't be returning until September Desperate Housewives expected to return in April with 7 new episodes. A complete list can be found here: http://canada.com.dose.ca/topics/entertainment/television/sstory.html?id=ab088409-0668-4edb-86ac-7dc756590291 hope that link works when you copy and paste it into browser, I don't have 500 posts yet so I'm not allowed to paste anything into here... I have to wait until fall for Heroes to come back, I'm really disappointed in that.

Hi! I'm glad the post was helpful :) From what I have read it is the producers decision when to return with new shows. I have to wait until September for Heroes as well, my favorite show! Apparently the network, Global, asked the show to get going and have new shows for April like many other shows and the producer declined saying there wouldn't be any new shows until September! That kinda made me mad! LOL Thanks for best response!

I had heard the new shows will be starting in april, im definetly missing my greys anatomy and private practice, i really didnt think that the writer strike would have lasted this long but at least it will be over soon! my fave character is george, hes so adorable i just want to pinch his cheeks and i definetly want McDreamy and merideth to stay together, itll go back and forth for years im sure though just like the Ross and Rachel thing on friends it keeps people tuning in.

Hi I like both those shows too. But April seems so long to wait. Oh well, at least it isn't December! ;) I think my favorite on the show is Gray. She is just so messed up and likable! And to look at is McSteamy. :) B

They are sitting down to go over the agreements this week, but it basically looks like the strike is over. That means writers can go back to work, and some of the shows can be re-started very soon. Hopefully we see a new Grey's Anatomy before the end of March :)

Thank you, that is great news! And so much easier than having to look it up on the net! You do a search and you never know how much stuff you're gonna have to go through just to get to the answer you want. Thanx! B
