Best of The Business: On the Bubble

Hosted by Claude Brodesser-Akner Dec. 31, 2007 Entertainment
This week, it's the Best of The Business.  The strike will put a gaggle of TV shows "on the bubble," and we're not talking about being drunk on champagne. So today, between Dove products and the producers of a remake of the 1939 classic film The Women, we revisit our conversation with the producers of Scrubs and Jericho, shows that came back from the brink of extinction earlier this year.
