Criminal Minds: As Hollywood braces itself for a potential SAG strike on July 1st it is good to know that Criminal Minds will have some episodes completed and ready to air. Thanks to Ed Bernero and our wonderful writers, Criminal Minds was one of the first TV shows to air new episodes after the WGA strike. Lets all hope that another strike doesn't happen and that just incase it does that Ed and company can bank as many episodes as possible between now and the end of the month. We need our actors. Sock puppets just are not a viable substitute. ;)
"About two dozen broadcast series -- including "Heroes," "House," "Bones," "My Name Is Earl," "ER," "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," "CSI: NY," "Criminal Minds," "Brothers & Sisters," "Chuck," "Dirty Sexy Money" and "Life" -- will have episodes in the can by July 1 as some stayed in continuous production or resumed shooting quickly because of the fallout of the writers strike. But there will be no finished product of such heavyweights as "Grey's Anatomy," "Desperate Housewives," "CSI: Miami" and "The Office," prompting speculation that networks might consider pushing the start of the 2008-09 season if there is a long SAG strike."
