Writers Strike Affecting House?
Will the Writer’s Strike affect House? That all depends on how long it goes on. The last writer’s strike in 1988 went on for five months. If that happens, House will DEFINITELY be affected. David Shore explained that they’ve got some scripts to last them awhile, but that if the strike goes on, House will have some problems.
He said that, should the writer’s strike go on for any length of time, he may play reruns of House and save the new episodes for sweeps (NOT FAIR SHORE!).
“I will work as a producer for as long as we have stuff to produce,â€? Mr. Shore said. “I won’t be working as a writer. That means we won’t have any new scripts coming along. As I see it, should there be a strike, we won’t have any choice but to shut down shortly after.â€?
Pray people - pray for it to get worked out so that we don’t have to suffer through reruns for another three months!

David Shore should step up to save the show by being a writer i mean i loved the episodes that he had written and as far as i counted he was the writer of like 6 episodes before…one good thing about the strike though is hugh laurie would be able to take a break from really long hours of work and maybe stay with his family…
