The writers’ strike that has plagued Hollywood for months is officially over. Many of the writers have decided to make a few changes to the shows, in preparation for their filming and release sometime in the future. The names of the shows have been changed in order to fit with the change in plot and characters. Here’s the lineup: Grey’s Anatomy to Gay’s Anatomy Meredith and Christina always seemed to be a bit more than friends. Now we know why Meredith could never commit to McDreamy. Zoey 101 to How to Raise a Child as a Single Teenage Mother 101 Zoey (played by Jamie Lynn Spears) is preggers. Oops. But that doesn’t mean she can’t continue to be a role model to all those preteens out there. The show will focus on the difficulties of raising a child at a boarding school, but overall Zoey will be victorious in raising a healthy kid. Of course, she will also graduate from Pacific Coast Academy with high honors. The show is an excellent example of Nickelodeon’s ability to represent trends in the teen world. House M.D. to House Unleashed Dr. House finally makes the jump from weird and mildly insane to completely insane. Sticking with the old plot line, House will continue to make stupid decisions regarding the lives of his patients. Unfortunately, after going mentally insane the decisions he makes regarding his patients will no longer be valid and he won’t continue to save lives. After a few episodes he’ll be fired and the show will cover the aftermath of Dr. House’s break down and dealing with him being loose in the outside world. Ugly Betty to Ugly Freddy Tired of being ridiculed for her appearance, Betty gets a sex change. Lost to Found They’re no longer “lost.” Duh. My Super Sweet Sixteen to My Super Sweet Seventeen All the rich brats are on to their next birthdays. It was too difficult for the producers of the show to find kids as spoiled and obnoxious, so they decided to use the same ones from previous seasons. They debated featuring normally-behaved kids on the show, but viewers said they enjoyed watching the antics of the monstrously-spoiled ones. Desperate Housewives to Desperate Houseflies This show has dealt with all sorts of social issues and has moved on to natural disasters. In the wake of the tornado that destroys Wisteria Lane, a swarm of killer over-sized houseflies enter the suburban street and wreak havoc on the lives of its citizens. Faced with chaos, the housewives’ infidelity rate doubles (yes, it can get even higher), and friendships are lost and enemies are made in the next season of this exciting show. —Anneke Heher
