    Another Day on the Picket Lines

    Desperate Housewives has run out of scripts. The Office and Rules of Engagement have shut down, along with at least five other prime-time television shows.  Jay Leno was back on the picket line apologizing for not having a joke.  Meantime, producers are canceling long-term contracts. Does the Writers Guild strike threaten the future of TV as we know it?
