I wanted to wait a bit before I posted about the ABC showrunner panel, because a) I already posted about the "news" from
Shonda Rhimes about Katherine Heigl's statements, and b) I wanted to think about why these panels seem to be so much more informative than the individual show panels?
We'll get to that more later. On the panel were Rhimes (
Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice), Marc Cherry (
Desperate Housewives), Silvio Horta
(Ugly Betty), Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse
(Lost), and Greg Berlanti (seemingly the rest of ABC's schedule). As you'd expect, Rhimes got the Heigl questions, Lindelof and Cuse got the most esoteric questions, and Chery made the most jokes. The funniest line, though, came from Horta.

Now that we know that
Ugly Betty is coming back next season (it was never in doubt) and that the
Ugly Betty production is moving to New York, executive producer
Silvio Horta has shared a few more bits of news and tidbits about Betty and company.
For starters, the producers are determined to streamline the show, taking advantage of being in NYC and sharpening the focus of the show. Horta said the goal for the
Ugly Betty writing team for season three is "to make the show more about Betty's journey and to weave the characters into more unified, emotionally grounded plots."

It's Day Three of the WGA Strike, and things are getting serious. Production on some scripted sitcoms and dramas is already
coming to screeching halt -- despite the fact that completed scripts have yet to be shot.
Sitcoms which have already gone dark are:
The New Adventures of Old Christine,
Back to You, 'Til Death, and
Rules of Engagement. And with Steve Carrell refusing to cross the picket line,
The Office has
shut down for business, as well.
Meanwhile, Shonda Rhimes (
Grey's Anatomy,
Private Practice) and Shawn Ryan (
The Shield,
The Unit) have publicly stated that they won't perform their showrunner responsibilities either. Without their showrunners, these high profile dramas will most likely cease production earlier than networks expected.
