Writers Strike - goes on and on, but some better news this week

The likelihood of the worst case scenario playing out, i.e. that the Writers Strike continues well into the year, was reduced this week when the Directors guild reached an early agreement with the studios. Previously it was thought that the Directors guild would not reach a new deal until June. Now that the Directors and the Studios are in agreement, no pending outside agreements stand in the way of the Writers and the Studios reaching an agreement.
The TV networks apparently still have plenty of unseen content to put out, but not much of it is prime-time:
