The Writer's Strike Is Over, So What About Your Favorite Shows?

'Battlestar' is coming back (thank the Gods), 'Chuck', 'Heroes' play the waiting game

With the writer's strike over, a new contract ratified by the WGA board and a pending vote by the membership at-large looming, I know what you're thinking: enough of this strike business, when the heck am I gonna see new episodes of Battlestar Galactica, Chuck, Heroes or  "insert name of favorite show here"?

Believe me, I sympathise and apparently so do the folks at TV Guide because they've already posted a pretty comprehensive guide to the TV shows that are coming back now, sooner, later or never.

Some of the shows with their fates already determined include:

Battlestar Galactica
Returns April 4 with first half of 20-episode final season. Production on second half could start as early as March. Airdate for those TBD.

Chuck
No new episodes until fall.

Heroes
No new episodes expected until fall.

Lost
Six pre-strike episodes remain. Five additional episodes could air this season.

Smallville
Four pre-strike episodes remain. Expected to shoot 5 or 6 additional episodes to air in April/May.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Four pre-strike episodes remain. Future beyond that TBD.

Bionic Woman
No new episodes expected. Ever.

Check out the complete list, updated regularly, for more details on your favorite shows.
