i just read this article........
(No more Heroes (will end at episode 11 instead of 22)! Lost and 24 seasons canceled! Hollywood writers have gone on strike and will not write any more scripts for television and movies. If the strike lasts longer than a couple of weeks it will force ALL scripted TV shows to stop production immediately, forcing abbreviated 10-episode seasons. )
this can't be true surely?

Afraid it is true. Hollywood screenwriters are now on strike. Provided the strike lasts no more than a couple of weeks, though, most of the shows should be OK. Heroes (and various others) I'm not so sure about, because script to production schedules are very tight - some TV-scheduling idiot decided it'd be a good idea to begin screening each season when they only had 5-8 episodes ready to air - lunacy.
For anyone who doubts, check the link below.

Yes it can be true. Already the late night talk shows have been showing repeats. IF the writers do not reach an agreement, the networks will be forced to show repeats or end the seasons early. It doesn't mean they will be cancelled, just postponed until after the writer's strike ends.
Strikes have impacted more than just television in the past. In 1981 and 1994 there was no baseball because the players were on strike.

I think that shows which have already been written can be filmed, but shows that are not yet written would not be able to be produced. I don't know how that impacts 24 or Lost. The article I linked to below says that those shows have episodes that are already completed but might be forced to cut their seasons short. Of course, this all assumes that the writer's strike lasts for any length of time, which is unknown.
Hope that helps,
Dana

Not true!
The shows immediately effected are Day time sopas, and late night talk shows...
TV shows like Heroes and such already have their scripts written till the end of this season and probably partially into the next season.. I have already seen legitamate news reports that say the same thing...
Heroes will not be cancelled at episode 11. But it will go on a break at the begginning of Dec.

Is it because they are all wanting more money? Well heck let me go on strike i am a newspapers box carrier and I get paid by each paper I sell, so hey why dont we all go on strike for our jobs dont we all want more money?Hey I got an idea we are striking because the gas is to high and we cant drive to work or something like that?! I totally love heroes so I hope they will fix their issues soon.

These shows are too poular to be cancelled. Scripwriters in America have gone on strike as they want to recieve money when there work is put onto DVD and other 'on demand' services. As a result of the strike, production of these shows may be delayed but they certainly wont get cancelled - after all, there are many aspiring scripwriters who would jump at the chance to write for these high profile shows!

Not sure about the others but heroes series 1 has already been completed. and broadcast on TV. American TV shows broadcast in this country have already been written and broadcast in the states. however any current series still in production could be effected. and these will not have been broadcast yet

Too right!!, they don't get paid one third of what the actors do yet in reality they do all the work!!
Lets see how they deal with this not being able to get their $300 shoe laces "just because they can" etc without any scripts coming their way!!
Pay them what they deserve and then we can all get back to watching TV YAY!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOO, it really can't be true, do you know how long I've waited for Lost? I would assume this is a rumour or something, why would the writers go on strike anyway?
I doubt there's any truth in this whatsoever... did you personally write this article?......
