TV Season 2008

I'm waiting for One Tree Hill. I love that show!

Are Scrubs and House held up by the writers' strike too?

Pretty much most of the entertainment world is held up by the writers' strike.

If you're not seeing something as regularly scheduled, chances are likely that is the reason.

Does anyone know when the new season of Without A Trace starts? I know there is a one off episode on next Tuesday on 5 US but that is because it links up with CSI Vegas. I know the writers strike has put alot of shows on hold so was just wandering if this show will be held back because of it as well.

Are Scrubs and House held up by the writers' strike too?

I'm also waiting for House.

Scrubs is in a particularly strange situation.

The current season is the last. It was meant to have 11 episodes, but only about 8 were written before the strike. When the strike was just a glimmer in everyone's eye, NBC came down hard on Bill Lawrence. They wanted him to write an 'emergency' ending, just in case there was a strike. (They also severely pressured him to have, as he put it, 'one certain character end up with another certain character,' just because that's what they thought would make the audience happiest.)

He refused all this, of course. So as of now, the series doesn't have its final episodes written.

The latest I've heard is that Lawrence has said that if the strike doesn't end in time, there just won't be final episodes. Scrubs will have to go off the air on a weird unintentional cliffhanger. (Though, like Steven Moffatt did with Coupling, it's expected that Lawrence would write something for a site that would tell the intended ending of the Scrubs story.)

Scrubs should have finished about 2 series ago - what used to be an excellent programme (one of my favourites) but the last series that was shown here was dreadful....I don't recall just how many of them I stopped watching part way through because they hadn't raised a single laugh but it was at least 4. And the musical episode - oh dear that was just like pulling teeth!

I wasn't aware he'd done that.  I knew there was talk of a Christmas special that never materialized.

I am so out of touch with Scrubs - I keep just catching random episodes while sick this week.

Anyone know when Bones is starting again - it was supposed to be Feb 14th.

Still - Cold Case is back tonight!

Bones starts again in late April. No definite date given yet.

And I hate to tell you, but Cold Case started last week! You've missed an episode!

That's ok.....It's on my Sky+   
I forget when things are on....I just remember setting it when I saw the first episode was on!

Mad Men starts on 2 March!

First or second season?  Either way everyone MUST watch it.  It's easily one of the best shows on TV.
