By now most of you have heard Hollywood writers are on strike. It’s the third day and they’ve taken to the picket lines. So what’s going to happen to your favorite sitcom this fall? How soon will it go to reruns?

It all depends on how many scripts the studios have stockpiled. They certainly knew the strike was coming and they got as much out of their writers, as quickly as they could, before it struck. So many of your favorite sitcoms will remain in production - despite picketers - until they’ve exhausted their stockpile of scripts.

Then there are those shows that have already run out scripts to film. The AP reports that production has halted on Desperate Housewives, Back to You, and Two and a Half Men, among others. Seven total.

What this all boils down to is that by the of this the year most of your favorite shows will run out of new episodes and go to reruns. Everyone ready for more reality TV? (see those shows don’t need writers - just really bad ideas)
