The L.A. Times has mapped out where all of our shows stand in the wake of the writers' strike.

Let's just put it out there....we love the L.A. Times. Sure, they cover all the news in a fair and unbiased way, but the thing that makes us want to hug them...the brilliant comprehensive chart they've created that shows where all our TV shows stand. See, with the writers' strike, we are lost when it comes to what shows are in continuous repeats, who still has new shows in "the can" (show biz talk for already taped) and what shows will continue fresh and new. This is important stuff...  We need to know how many more Sundays we'll spend in tears watching our Brothers & Sisters. We need to brace ourselves to say goodbye to Nora and the rest of the Walkers. The L.A. Times has taken out all of the guess work....thank you LA Times!!

Here's where some of our faves stand right now:

Ellen Degeneres is continuing with all new shows—Yah for the dance!

Ugly Betty has 13 out of 24 episodes taped—It's not adios just yet!

The Biggest Loser finale is scheduled to air Dec.18.  Thank goodness, because we have invested way too much time following these people.

For all the shows listed check out the feature in the LA Times.
