Wasn&#x27;t 2007&#x2F;2008 the year of the writer&#x27;s strike?  That&#x27;s obviously going to cause a bit of disruption.<p>I agree that US tv doesn&#x27;t seem to give shows a chance to get established.  There are some potentially great shows that got cancelled too soon. (Space above and beyond; jericho; firefly; etc etc).
