As Scripts Run Out, Reality Kicks In

The Hollywood writers’ strike, which has been wreaking havoc on late-night TV since early November, is now breaking out in prime time like a bad rash.
Mid-season scripted series are so short of episodes that they’ll play like miniseries with missing endings — you know, like that final season of “The Sopranos.”
On the bright side, some of those mid-season shows — once thought of as the flotsam and jetsam of the 2007-08 TV season — are now being fussed over like precious cargo with which the networks hope to salvage this season and possibly next, as this pilot season is on the verge of cancellation.
