Yes, that list is correct. Rules of Engagement has also shut down completely. Carpoolers and Cavemen are said to be on their last episode and shut down within the next few days (possibly tommorrow).

Thank you (both of you).
ETA: Weird, none of The CW shows appear to be shut down (at least not for now)...I guess The CW is the one who needs the most help anyways.

New Amsterdam and Jezebel James weren't producing anyway, or not much.
What's noticeable from your list is much of the stopped production is sitcoms, the genre that's most in decline lately. Does it say something generally about sitcom writers/producers as opposed to others?

The sitcoms are shutting down first because they are most likely to have stars that are members of the WGA (The Office, 30 Rock) and they are most likely to have writers re-working scripts right up to the day of filming. The soap operas like Grey's Anatomy have to plan out their plotlines much further in advance, so they should have more scripts on hand that they can still film.
Those wishing for a quick end just don't even bother. I wish I hadn't.
I saw a whole bunch of comments here about this article, so I went and read it. All I can say is thay those of you that sucked up every word of that and believed it in the one-sided way you have responded are complete suckers. The article doesn't actually say much of anything of substance. The WGA went to the bargaining table. bargaining happened. They don't believe the bargaining went as far as it needed so they decided to move forward with the strike. Nothing in the article is any different than what was reported previously except for the empty 'slant' that the other side isn't really trying.
Marc, NBC must not be listening to you..........from zap2it The 14th season of "ER" may not be its last.
NBC's long-running medical drama, which will air its 300th episode in a few weeks, was believed to be on its last legs. Executive producer John Wells, however, says the show may still have life in it.
Wells, who's been with the show from its beginnings in 1994 and is directing the 300th episode, tells Variety that he'll start talking with the network soon about a possible 15th year for the show. "ER" is currently the second longest-running drama on television, trailing only its NBC brethren "Law & Order."
Though the series is nowhere near the ratings juggernaut it once was, it still draws OK numbers for NBC. So far this season, it's averaging 9.9 million viewers per week and a respectable 4.1 rating in the advertisers' preferred demographic of adults 18-49. The latter mark is good enough to win its timeslot over CBS' "Without a Trace," which has a sizable advantage in total viewers.
As for the immediate future, "ER" is in the same boat as most other scripted series: The writers' strike will cause production to go idle in the near future. Wells was one of dozens of writer-producers who signed an ad in Tuesday's trade papers pledging not to work on their shows until writers reach an agreement with the media companies that employ them.
Yes...I saw this. And I am truly amazed. The show is down by double-digits year-to-year and NBC needs new hits. How much more can it milk from ER?

Astrologically, when a planet goes into retrograde, the conditions that the planet governs are altered and do not function as expected.
As the messenger of the gods, Mercury in astrology governs communications and travel. Mercury turns retrograde for three weeks, every four months. In general terms, this is Murphy’s Law time. Machines tend to go a bit screwy— cars, computers, phone, fax, printer, bulldozer, and the doctor’s machine that goes ping. Miscommunication is also a common byproduct of Mercury retrograde. Contracts signed and matters begun during Mercury retrograde tend to take unexpected twists and turns in the future.
Expect heavy traffic, delays, machinery malfunctions, computer problems, and typos. Mercury retrograde is typically not a huge deal unless having accurate information is of utmost importance. Surgeries and medical tests, for example. What might happen is the test, or gods forbid, the surgery, must be repeated at a later date2..."

I download your normal podcasts on a thumb drive and listen to them at my night job. I signed up for the webcast in hopes of doing the same but at the link I couldn't find anyway to download it to an MP3. Am I missing something? Is there no way to download it to a thumb drive?
