Looks like The Office [1] is one of the first casualties of the Hollywood writers' strike [2]. Jenna Fischer wrote today that the show has just two new episodes left [3] before reruns kick in. Here's a video of the writers picketing (thanks to Lindsb [4] for posting it in The Office group [5]):

Here are some other developments from day three of the strike:

• The premiere of 24 has been officially postponed indefinitely [6], Fox announced today, and the rest of the network's spring lineup has been changed significantly.
• Desperate Housewives will shut down production tomorrow [7]; executive producer Marc Cherry joined Lost [8] executive producer Damon Lindelof to talk about the strike. [9]
• Speaking of Lost, here's a scary thought: In one scenario, the show's return could be delayed until February 2009. [10]
• While viewers won't see the effects of the strike at movie theaters till 2009, there's one way films are already suffering: Stars can't promote their movies on the talk-show circuit. [11]
• Saturday Night Live will officially be a repeat [12] this week.
• On the one hand, new shows might be more vulnerable to cancellation [13] because of the strike; on the other hand, the strike might be the reason some of them are still on the air [14] at all.
• If you want to know more about the writers' side of the strike, here's an explanation. [15] The producers' side can be found here. [16]
