Strike hits Canada and many Canadian television productions, including Bionic Woman and Battlestar Galactica were shut down.
The Office and 30 Rock were shut down almost immediately, other programs because they have some scripts left keep going. Among the shattered shows are NBC's Bionic Woman and Sci-Fi's Battlestar Galactica.
These two shows employed approximately 200 people and more will be out of work as the strike continues.
According to Don Cott vice president of the Canadian branch of the AMPTP, the end is in sight for several shows. He estimates that Aliens in America and Reaper will stop production later this month, Supernatural will stop filming in early December, Men in Trees will shoot through mid-January, and Smallville will continue production through January 23. Psych, The 4400, and Kyle XY have all already gone dark.
This is bad news for Sci-fi fans everywhere. I'm very disappointed that Kyle XY, 4400 and Supernatural are shutting down. Let's hope it won't affect Heroes and Stargate Atlantis, we have already lost SG-1.

some really good shows were or going to get canceled, that's bad news. Is it like they are canceled for good or maybe they will renew them
