We don’t know about you, but ever since the writers strike began, we’ve spent our entire weekend refreshing Deadline Hollywood Daily, hoping for news of a resolution. And finally our hours in front of the computer have paid off. The strike was sort of resolved this weekend. Now we can finally do our laundry!

We say sort of because the Writers Guild still needs to vote to approve the settlement, which they will likely do on Tuesday. As requested, writers will get a percentage of internet revenue. But does this have to do with the price of tea in China?

Well, for one, the Oscars will go on as scheduled on February 24. The TV season is still a bit screwed, though.

Most shows will take about eight weeks to ramp up; The Office, Samantha Who? and Two And A Half Men, which have some scripts ready, are expected to get up faster. Heroes is likely over for the season; 24 won't even get off the ground.

Late night shows, which are written on the day of, could get funny again as soon as Wednesday.

A new episode of Saturday Night Live is scheduled for February 23. (Apparently two weeks is needed to put a show together, post-strike. We're holding our breath for you, Kristen Wiig.)

Both as a result of its relative cheapness and popularity, reality TV is here to stay. Moment of Truth and the Lycra that is American Gladiators will be around, even after the strike is resolved.

What about the fall season? With networks making cutback on pilots, there will be less of a push for new shows in September.

As for the possibility of an actors strike—the SAG contract expires in June—don’t sweat it. With the WGA all settled, a SAG walk-out is less likely.

Which is good news for our DVR, because it's been aching to get clogged with something other than SVU re-runs.
