No, that's not the name of a new show. It's the name of the thing that might happen tonight, or very soon, that would cause you to not see any new shows.
The WGA (Writers Guild of America) is pissed that they don't get 8 cents on every DVD sold instead of 5, so they're thinking about going to strike. Their contract ended last night, and they're basically trying to get a bump in pay or they'll stop writing.
The things that will be affected immediately are late night shows, like Jay Leno, and soaps. Yes, Days. WTF? Other shows have banked scripts, if they're smart, and could probably get away with those, at least for a little bit, so you won't see immediate affects.
What I don't understand about strikes is, yeah, it's good in the long run, getting that extra 3 cents per DVD, but in the short run, how are people gonna feed their families. I guess it's the same thing when any union strikes, but in a business where the people who are on their game make MILLIONS, it's sorta silly to think they're arguing about 3 cents.
That's being said, I have friends that are writers, and they don't drive Lexus' (Lexi?) or Hummers, and if they can get an extra 3 cents every time someone buys an overpriced DVD (which will probably go out of business anyway, since you can now stream Netflix on your computer) then I'm all for it.
