TV post-strike update

If you're like me and wondering what shows you'll have to look forward to this spring (and next fall), Ausiello's updated his list.

1. 24: Season 7 postponed until January '09.
   
2. 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.
3. Bones: Four pre-strike episodes are scheduled to begin airing April 14. Expected to shoot 2 to 6 additional episodes. Airdate for those is TBD.
   
4. How I Met Your Mother: Expected to shoot 9 new episodes to begin airing on March 17.
5. The Office: Expected to shoot 6 new episodes to begin airing on April 10.
6. Reaper: Three pre-strike episodes remain, the last of which airs on March 27. Expected to shoot 5 additional episodes to begin airing on April 22.

Check out Real Lessons from Fake Presidents. All my favorites, including Laura Roslin (BSG - gotta love a show that makes the Secretary of Education the President), Charles Logan (24 - what, no David Palmer?), Thomas Whitmore (Independence Day - God, I love that speech), James Marshall (Air Force One), Jed Bartlet (The West Wing - I live in denial, he is the President), and Andrew Shepherd (The American President).

Also, good news. There's less spitting in China.
