NEW YORK (AP) - It seemed the new TV season had just started, then, suddenly, the stream of new episodes threatened to run dry.
For the most part, you can relax for the rest of the month. Even with TV writers on strike, most of your favorite comedy and drama series have episodes on tap through November, and even beyond. But a few will be in reruns all too soon.
---
RINGING IN THE NEW YEAR?:
- "House," with six episodes left, will be fresh through November, with the last few airing in January - one of them following Fox's broadcast of the Super Bowl.
- "Samantha Who?", ABC's new hit comedy, has eight episodes in the can.
- The "Crime Scene Investigation" trio, "NCIS,""Criminal Minds,""Without a Trace" and "Cold Case" each have three to six more episodes to run on CBS.
---
DRYING UP:
- CBS' comedies ("How I Met Your Mother,""The Big Bang Theory,""Two And a Half Men,""Rules of Engagement") will run dry by month's end.
- ABC's "Ugly Betty,""Pushing Daisies" and "Grey's Anatomy" each have four new episodes to go.
- "Desperate Housewives" airs the last of its current stock of new episodes Dec. 2.
- The final new episode of NBC's "Heroes" airs Dec. 3.
---
ON THE BRINK:
- "The Office" will head into rerun mode on NBC for the foreseeable future after next week's episode. Among other things, shooting has stopped because star Steve Carell won't cross picket lines.
- Despite a report that Fox's "Family Guy" would air its final new episode this Sunday, the cartoon series will be new through November, the network said.
---
MIA:
- The planned January return of Fox's "24" has been postponed indefinitely. Since only some of the series' 24 episodes have been shot, Fox didn't want to risk beginning a new season that might be interrupted.

You know what. I can understand her thinking. She has a show, she has fans that expect her to be on television. A writer's strike because they aren't getting more money from those digital media incentives (DVD, online presentations) doesn't exactly rob them of food from their table. So she's doing what she thinks is best. The writers think their doing what's best.
So frankly, they can do what they want and she can do what she wants.

The thing is though, unless she's writing her own material, I'm angry about it. It's the people who make money from the writers a lot more money than they do by the way and aren't willing to stand by them that make me mad. You know Regis and Kelly are live and as far as I know don't have anyone from the guild working for them, so yeah that's a different ball game.
