Strike update: Which shows will be back sooner, rather than later?

With the writers’ strike nearing an end—YAhoo!—it looks like many of our favorite shows will be back on the air by spring.
“The Office,” “30 Rock,” “Gossip Girl,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Desperate Housewives” and more will likely be able to churn out a handful of new episodes by April.
But others—mostly newbies like “Dirty Sexy Money,” “Pushing Daisies” and “Chuck”—Â probably won’t be back until the fall.
Then there’s “24,” which won’t return until January 2009, returning to the show’s standard winter premiere strategy—but leaving fans without their Jack Bauer fix for nearly TWO years.
As for serialized dramas like “Heroes” and “Lost,” the decision is a bit more difficult.
Networks and producers are trying to figure out if it’s worth the trouble to produce just a few episodes for the rest of this season, leaving viewers hanging in the middle of convoluted storylines until September.
“Lost” exec producer Damon Lindelof seems to think the island drama can crank out more than the 8 episodes we’ve been promised this season—but then again, it’s all up to ABC as to when they’d air.
E!’s Kristin Dos Santos got the scoop from show runners for some of Remote Access’ faves, including all of the above mentioned shows. Check it out here!
