Could It Be...Pretty Please!!!

Blogger Nikki Finke is reporting on her "Deadline Hollywood" blog that a source has told her that the writers' strike could be over by Christmas...

"It's already done, basically," the insider
describes. That's because of the weeks worth of groundwork by
the Hollywood agents working the writers guild leadership on one side,
and the studio and network moguls on the other. I was told not to expect an
agreement this week. But my source thought it was possible that the
strike could be settled before Christmas. Look, I don't want to raise
false hope here. But this source has been very accurate in the
past.

Please, please, pretty please, let this be true! Wouldn't that be a wonderful Christmas present for all of us--especially us "24" fans since this might be able to save the season...
