Strike list: where to from here?

As Hollywood looks optimistically to the end of the WGA strike, questions will now be asked about the fate of suspended shows and what can still be salvaged of the 2008 TV season.

Some shows like CSI, Brothers and Sisters, Grey’s Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Supernatural and Ugly Betty could resume production with new eps to air in April / May.

Some shows like 24 remain unclear. And for Bionic Woman the strike may well have been the last nail in the coffin. According to Michael Ausiello at TVGuide.com its status is “No new episodes expected. Ever.
