Rumors are flying rampant over whether or not the strike is nearing its end. Some people say it'll be ending within the week, while others claim quite the opposite.

So what will happen if the strike does end in the next week?

Well, it depends on each show.

Some shows could go back into production and produce new episodes -- some for this season and some for next. Others, well, not so much. Sometimes it just doesn't make sense to start production just to close it down shortly after for the summer hiatus.

Marc Cherry (Desperate Housewives creator) told E! Online that if the strike ends soon, he's ready to bang out seven episodes. Seven seems to be the extreme, as most shows will either do two or three episodes, or wait until next season entirely.

Sad. Very sad.

Some other random TV news:
