CNBC reported last night that the WGA strike may be over! Their source is former Disney CEO Michael Eisner, who now hosts a show on the network. When asked on the show Fast Money where the WGA strike stands he replied, “It’s over. They’ve made a deal, they shook hands on a deal. The deal is going on Saturday to the constituents (for a vote)… I think it’s impossible that they turn it down. A deal has been made and (the writers) will be back to work reasonably soon!”
He didn't elaborate, but the writers have been sticking to their terms and it's doubtful they would budge much. Hopefully they'll get what they want so that we can get a full season of Lost! Don't reach for the remote just yet though, ABC sort of puts a damper on things by reporting that "even if Hollywood writers end their three-month-old strike soon, studios will be reluctant to ramp up development too aggressively because they must still contend with a possible walkout by actors in June."

But, with a looming actors strike, doesn't that mean that they would want to very quickly get their major shows back into production so that they could film as much as possible before June?
Funny -- the actual WRITERS don't seem quite so sure the strike is over yet...
Here's hoping all television starts tanking and we go back to the radio play. I want Abbott and Costello to make a comeback.
