Fans rejoiced in late October when Samantha Who? was given a full-season (22 episode) pickup by ABC. But as the Writers Guild of America strike nears the end of its first week, and negotiations between the guild and major studios deadlocked, some believe the strike could stretch into 2008.
What’s that mean for the most-watched new comedy of the fall? According to TV Guide, twelve episodes of Samantha Who? will be produced. Counting the four episodes that have already aired, eight still remain to be seen.
For those unfamiliar with the strike, SamanthaWho.org recommends the following news articles and sites.
Please feel free to post your strike-related questions or comments. As fans of a laugh out loud show know, dialogue doesn’t just write itself.

‘Dancing,’ ‘Samantha’ trot to Monday win
ABC came up big on another Monday night with the sitcom “Samantha Who” gliding effortlessly behind proven winner “Dancing with the Stars.”
“Dancing with the Stars” was the night’s top show in both key measures with 21 million viewers and a 5.0 rating/12 share in the adults 18-49 demographic, according to preliminary estimates released Tuesday afternoon by Nielsen Media Research. It was down only slightly from week to week but still ahead of everything else, although CBS’s “Two and a Half Men” (14.1 million, 5.0/11) tied it in rating if not in share.
ABC’s freshman “Samantha Who” (18.3 million, 5.0/11) also tied in the demo although it would take until final ratings are released to see how the shows end up. But in any event, it was a continued strong performance from “Samantha Who,” which last week scored a 4.5/10 in adults 18-49.
