Thanks for providing the information.
If a strike occurs, will the networks opt for a limited retry of the 1988 MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE experiment of remaking old series by reshooting old scripts with largely new castmembers?

Looks like Hollywood will have to start re-using the same old material. Wait, what's different here?

Wells, don't start acting now like you care about this. We need you on the Oscar part of this story -- that should appeal to you a little more, anyway. P.S., I'm not sure, but I think David Poland misses you a little bit.
