Television networks are offering more reality shows in place of shows that need writers, who are on strike.
Major studios and networks are scrambling to figure out what TV will look like, as members of the Writers Guild of America continue striking for a third week with no end in sight.
The only scripted show,"Abbott Elementary" — on what's being referred to in Hollywood trade publications as ABC's"strike proof" lineup — will air in reruns only. Production on shows like"Family Guy" is also coming to a halt, after creator Seth MacFarlane walked out in support of the striking writers. Writers are striking for better pay and working conditions and want guardrails for new technologies like artificial intelligence that might one day automatically generate scripts.
