But I can't say I'm shedding a tear for the delay in Family Guy. I support all writers, but the ones for that show get my support quite grudgingly. Grudgingly, I say. Harrumph. Ah, that makes sense.

So the strike would actually DELAY them. It already delayed "Family Guy," which only has one unaired episode left in the can.

Hopefully if this drags on it'll mean a full-on series return for Futurama, not just that chopped-up made for DVD movie Comedy Central business. Yeah, that’s a weird quirk with the unions.

Because most animated shows are covered under a separate union, we might see writers seeking job on shows like "SpongeBob." http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071107/en_nm/screenwriters_strike_animation_dc_1 Here’s another news on the strike.
