Gossip Girl: As early as this spring.

24: Wait until next year.

Lost: The ultimate teasers, Lost writers aren't sure what will happen after the eight epsidoe mini-season.

Entourage: HBO is hoping for a spring/summer season. There's no reason for a delay. Here's an episode: the guys run into some potential trouble with Ari, Eric worries, Vince settles it, Drama does something stupid, Turtle says something stupid, they all get stoned and Vince gets laid.

The Office: New episodes expected for April.

Friday Night Lights: There's a chance the strike will lead to this show's cancellation.

Grey's Anatomy: Will be back before May sweeps.

Ugly Betty: Expected to be brought back by April for six to eight more episodes.

How I Met Your Mother: Likely to return by the spring.
