Rumors are the writer's stike may be ending soon. Don't hold your breath as no one's willing to say it on the record, but we can always hope.
Here's an updated link to Michael Ausiello's blog post with the number of new episodes some (many more than last time) shows have left. It's getting close for some...

And-- maybe it's just high hopes the strike will end soon-- NBC has given Chuck and Life full-season orders. Who's gonna write the episodes? I don't know.

Premieres and Notables Nov. 26- Dec 2, 2007
Not many premieres and an odd amount of finales this week.
Monday, 11/26
Nimrod Nation; Sundance. 8:00 & 8:30 pm CST. Mini-series (4 week run).
A documentary about the residents of Waterstreet, MI. [The "Nimrods" of the title are the local high-school basketball team.]
Notes From the Underbelly; ABC. 8:30. 2nd season premiere.
Another surprise renewal by ABC. I dropped it after two painful episodes last year, but I may try it again...
October Road; ABC. 9 pm. New regular timeslot.
Tuesday, 11/27
A Charlie Brown Christmas; ABC. 7 pm. Special.
The classic is back.
Dancing With the Stars season finale on ABC at 8:00 pm.
And House finally finalizes his staff on House (FOX; 8 pm).
Wednesday, 11/28
Eric Clapton gets some of the greatest guitarists alive to join him in this performance from July on Great Performances (PBS; 8 pm-- check local listings). Guests include: B.B. King, Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy, and John Mayer.
Shrek the Halls; ABC. 7 pm. Special.
If you didn't get enough of the green one from his third movie (and countless advertising) this summer, here's a little more from the same people as the feature films (meaning no lame attempts at replicating voices).
How the Grinch Stole Christmas; ABC. 7:30. Special.
The classic 1966 cartoon I watch a few times every year. Genius...
Christmas in Rockefeller Center; NBC. 7 pm. Special.
The 75th annual lighting of the tree.
Thursday, 11/29
Iconoclasts (Sundance, 9 pm) has its finale with a pairing between actress (and activist) Ashley Judd and former secretary of state Madeleine Albright.
Friday, 11/30
Class of 3000 Christmas Special; Cartoon Network. 7 pm. Special.
Probably not destined to be a classic-- but it's got Santa voiced by Lil Jon. Wish it were Dave Chappelle doing Lil Jon as Santa-- YAY-Yeah!
Two Lifetime finales: Lisa Williams: Life Among the Dead (8 pm) and America's Psychic Challenge (9 pm).
Saturday, 12/1
Radio City Music Hall's 75th Anniversary Special ; NBC. 7 pm. Special
Torchwood (BBC America; 8 pm) ends its first season.
And Mad TV repeats the season opener with a look at their most outrageous skits from the past 13 years. It's awesome. We have everything from from "What Can Brown Do For You?" to the classic "Shake-powered Flashlight" bits. Highly Recommended.

Don't you hate it when networks run "best of the year" shows with an entire month left of the year?
