TvGuide Columnist and all around nice guy Michael Ausiello has a handy chart of when your favorite shows will go bye-bye. Check them out here
I have to say, I'm glad that I'll have plenty of time to catch up on the shows I've neglected (I'm so so sorry Bones!)

Hey kiddo.
I don't know exactly how accurate this list is, because I thought some series like "Back to You" and "30 Rock" had no episodes backlogged, and in the case of "Back to You" it was cancelled immediately upon word of the strike.
What makes me sadder then anything is my new favorite, and one of the only shows I watch anymore, "Pushing Daisies", and how this strike will affect it's life as a series. I really worry that it'll be canned. And in my humble little opinion, I think it was the front runner of all the new shows to bow this season.
And yeah, you got me reading your damn blog now! ;)
All scripted shows have episodes backlogged. While 30 Rock has ceased production they still have eps to run on the network. Same with Back to You
Shows like Pushing Daisies will not be further effecetd by teh strike but possibly given a chance to shine, however if the numbers drop for these shows, it'll be cansville, but Pushing Daisies was given a full season order so the network has faith in it, even if new eps can't be written.
Okay, then this is what I guess I am unclear on with his "list". Is he saying the number of episodes produced BEFORE the strike? Or the numbers of episodes to be produced for the season. I'm assuming now that he is saying what was produced BEFORE the strike, for I know that more then ten episodes were ordered for 30 rock.
Now, I know all television series have episodes backlogged, but with your traditional three camera series (i.e. "sitcoms filmed in front of a live studio audience"), they are usually produced about a week or maybe two in advance at this stage of the season, whereas your single camera shows (Law & Order, Pushing Daisies, etc.) are filmed more in advance. (like your geeky butt didn't know this already)
So anyway, I guess that was my gripe. Dudey Dude wasn't clear, and I want a full order of Pushing Dasies delivered to me on ABC, with no cancellation notice, and a writer on hand while they are filming to polish up lines.
Well, that and a Tivo to record Thursday night for me, since everything seems to be lumped together that night, and channel surfing between shows leaves me cranky and lost.
